Generally I wouldn't cross post from ARFCOM, but this petition actually seems to be fairly well thought out and of interest to the NFA community. The below quote is from here:

https://wwws.whitehouse.gov/petitions/!/petition/petition-increase-manpower-and-system-efficacy-batfes-national-firearms-act-branch/qBq7wmNH
http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/proper-appropriation-of-voluntary-tax-dollars-generated-by-the-nfa-branch-of-the-batfe/
These two links are to petitions designed to do just that.
Apparently there is an unprecidented volume of transactions at the NFA branch and they are operating with decade old personnel strength over there despite ten million in revenue last year.
The government wants to hear from 1000 people for one petition to mean something and 5000 for the other. So we need all the help we can get.

*Edited to add original ARFCOM link.
There has been some debate on ARFCOM about the results of hiring more examiners and "bigger government". In my eyes, an easier NFA process will generate more public awareness, should help to expand NFA item ownership, and ultimately, lead to changes in the law itself. If you agree, please sign, and spread the word to fellow NFA enthusiasts.
