The NFA approval queue doesn't have one median wait time. It has two.
Form 4 Individual: 8 days median
Form 1: 48 days median
That's not noise. It's two systems running under one name.
Inaugural data briefing: 2,462 approvals, 5 pending months, 10 charts. 🧵
Please note: When Democrat-led state governments start banning Glocks (as California, Connecticut, and Maryland have done) they are literally BANNING HANDGUNS. They have moved beyond the AR-15 and are now banning your pistols.

What we continue to see in live community approval data:
high throughput still produces localized compression zones and cohort divergence across filing windows.
Queue movement remains uneven heading into June.
The ATF's website says that there are now over 6 million suppressors registered under the NFA, and that the agency has processed over 640,000 form 4s so far this year: https://t.co/QjnHHWl4ze
