Alan Gottlieb, the bow-tie-bedecked head of the Second Amendment Foundation, visited Mar-a-Lago, President-elect Donald Trump’s Florida compound, last month. The SAF, which has seen its prominence grow in recent years, is behind dozens of legal challenges, many of them anonymously funded, to gun restrictions. Gottlieb declined to discuss his Florida trip, saying by text that “my Mar-a-Lago conversations are privileged.” In an interview posted online on November 11, he said that his PAC had played a decisive role in turning out gun rights voters for Trump. He said he was headed to Mar-a-Lago for several days to meet with Trump’s transition team and hopefully the president-elect himself. “We have a seat at the table from Day One,” Gottlieb said, “and I am going to make it known what our agenda is and what we are looking for out of the next Trump administration.”

  1. As soon as his Treasury Secretary is confirmed, he needs to be ordered to do a 90 day NFA amnesty every 89 days. Nothing less.

    1. why 90 days? The Sec Treasury can issue an indefinite suspension of paying the $200.00 tax requirement and still issue a tax stamp for items under the NFA, the sec treasury just can’t do it for other types of taxes (although can suspend collection efforts under some conditions). Ya didn’t know that did ya.

    2. Unfortunately, any amnesty that reopens the registry isn’t legally possible absent Congressional action.

      Hughes Amendment included a provision allowing for one final amnesty period for existing, unregistered, MG’s / cans / SBS’s / SBR’s / DD’s / etc., but forbade any more. What you are proposing is exactly what the law expressly forbids.
