Just my .02, YMMV.

I have to second TR's pontification. Another point to add to your considerations - I've been waiting on the BATFE to process a Form 1 for an SBR for six months with no end in sight. As 35NCO has pointed out - the rules are whatever they want them to be, ignorance is no excuse, the penalties are onerous, and the consequences of running afoul of them are for life. Nothing like being hostage to a bureaucracy.

A nation can survive its fools, and even the ambitious. But it cannot survive treason from within. An enemy at the gates is less formidable, for he is known and carries his banner openly. But the traitor moves amongst those within the gate freely, his sly whispers rustling through all the alleys, heard in the very halls of government itself. For the traitor appears not a traitor; he speaks in accents familiar to his victims, and he wears their face and their arguments, he appeals to the baseness that lies deep in the hearts of all men. He rots the soul of a nation, he works secretly and unknown in the night to undermine the pillars of the city, he infects the body politic so that it can no longer resist. A murderer is less to fear.
