Washington, DC –-(Ammoland.com)- ATF is pleased to announce the availability of revised ATF Form 1, Application to Make and Register a Firearm, and ATF Form 5, Application for Tax Exempt Transfer and Registration of Firearm.
The ATF Form 1 has been revised to allow the payment of the making tax by use of a credit or debit card. This is a new option that was requested by the industry. Payment by check or money order will still be allowed when the application is submitted on paper.
The Form 1 and Form 5 have been revised to incorporate the questions relating to non-immigrant status that are contained in ATF Form 5330.20, Certification of Compliance with 18 U.S.C. 922(g)(5)(B).
Form 5330.20 is to be submitted when the applicant maker is an individual, not a legal entity. With a submission of the revised Form 1, the submission of Form 5330.20 will not be required. This revision was also requested by the industry.
For eForm filings, the prior version of the Forms 1 and 5 will continue to be used until we are able to update the form versions in the eForms system. Since the eForm 1 may only be filed by legal entities or government agencies and the eForm 5 is for transfer by a qualified Federal firearms licensee when the transferee is a government agency, the answering of the questions is not required as they are for an individual applicant maker or transferee.

All the ATF forms should be electronic, usable by individuals and removal of cleo (chief law enforement officer) requirements for individuals as well. The cleo requirement is an outdated and often means used by an antigun cleo as firearm banning. It serves no other purpose today.
@Eric, Why not just repeal the whole GCA? The GCA does not impact criminals getting guns. The GCA has never helped solve a crime. The GCA is just a burden upon the already law abiding.
