Tried to get on the ATFOnline.gov eForm site ( https://www.atfonline.gov/EForms/ ) and got this message:


--- Quote ---eForms Outage

Funny things is: it probably cost them money to have an IT guy take the site down and put that page in its place.

DaveB:
Let me get this straight, they make a daily payment to keep their website up?

Our government is bogus as can be, it is time for some real change!

RobertH:

I got a form in just before they shut down the site, luckily.  The really bad part is that with the coming changes to trusts you really need to get forms submitted ASAP if you live in a place like Lincoln where the chief of police refuses to sign off.  If it's not up again soon I would consider sending in a paper form. I don't know if it would be grandfathered or not but at least it would be postmarked prior to December.
