On Friday, November 28, the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) under the Department of Justice (DOJ) published a rule in the Federal Register that would make it easier to transport National Firearms Act (NFA) firearms across state lines.
Currently, to travel with an NFA item such as machine guns, short barreled rifles (SBRs), short barreled shotguns (SBSs), or destructive devices (DDs), a gun owner must fill out an ATF Form 5320.20, Application to Transport Interstate or to Temporarily Export Certain National Firearms Act (NFA) Firearms (“Form 20”) well in advance of the dates of travel. It can be used for a single trip or multiple trips to the exact same location. The approval is valid for only one year at a time. Suppressors and any other weapons (AOWs) are exempt from the regulations.
Currently, the form must be filled out in duplicate and submitted to the ATF for processing. The forms must be filled out by hand and sent to the ATF via the United States Postal Service (USPS), by fax, or via email. While most other NFA functions have moved to the eForms system, the ATF Form 5320.20 has remained under the old manual system. The new proposed rule would change that, streamlining the process of transporting NFA items.
