how long did it take for them to reply to email?
I emailed mine last week and haven't heard back - not even an auto-response.
Eight days for my son to get an email reply.

I haven’t read through all the pages, so forgive me,l. Are they just responding with basically “the atf doesn’t recognize this as valid and there’s nothing we can do, it’s all on MD” type BS?
Correct. However, that does not invalidate the MD requirement to ‘apply’ anyway.

That's pretty much what my email reply from ATF said. Still waiting on the snail mail registered, return receipt letter to get delivered from last Monday.

Mr. Stove Jr –
ATF's position regarding Maryland’s new law is posted on our public website in a Special Advisory issued by our Office of Public Affairs. We have included a hyperlink to the advisory for your convenience below.

We trust this advisory clarifies ATF’s authority and your submission is therefore returned without action. Please let us know if we can be of further assistance by contacting us at (202)648-7190 or FIPB@atf.gov.

Program Manager. They must be getting a lot of email (I'm a little surprised by this). Other responses, including mine were from Firearms Enforcement Specialists.Email response copied:
Is anyone predicting or have any thoughts on what MD as a state will do about it? Will they realize the ATF has no interest in this and get rid of it? Or will it just remain to be a burden to all of those who wanted to keep their “rapid fire activators”.

OR the lawsuit will be decided before then, zero chance because of the time for deliberations and appeals.
This is our only hope. The MGA is not going to change the law. However, given the circumstances of this whole thing, I would expect that either a) the lawsuit will be decided before 10/1/19, or b) there will be an injunction against enforcement issued until the lawsuit is decided.
A judge is not going to let this law start being enforced until that suit is decided.

Beginning to think those green delivery confirmation cards get put in the ATF round file.
Sorry if I missed it but can we just send FedEx with signature requested?
I filled out a certified mail with receipt request but will have a hard time getting to post office in time.
Yeah, the tracking info on my return receipt has not changed since the day I mailed it, and I've not yet received it. But, the form was mailed and delivered. I printed the tracking page.
