It’s a trap.
I sent my ATF email with MSI document and received an automated reply of receipt and goal to address my inquiry with 120 days. This email has a date and time stamp of course. When I sent the original inquiry, I also blind copied a third party on the email as an additional record keeping measure.
Is there language in the Maryland statue on how the ATF must be contacted, and which branch within it? If there isn't, I'm comfortable with the action that I've taken. However, if it specifies by US mail, I'll do this too. If it doesn't, establishing an automated web based mechanism that records the inquiry submission would likely increase participation.

Interesting. Mine was automated, but over the weekend. In my email body (the MSI letter with my signature was attached), I made mention of the US District Court hearing on September 14 in which the judge advised Marylanders to contact the ATF due to the new SB707 law. I thought it important that the ATF folks that this gets forwarded through are aware that a district court judge is essentially asking them to review these requests.then within the hour I sent the original email, I received a live reply...

Actually the very two .gov email addresses in Babalou's post above yours.What email address did you use for the ATF? I was going to mail out my letter tomorrow but I'll send an email instead.
I got an auto-reply from them. Does the MD statute require proof of receipt?What proof will you have that BATFE received your email?
Just like simply mailing your letter, no proof.
did the exact same today at the Germantown Post Office.

other than the reply email and timestamp thereof? The header information, if need be. Meez gotz that, as well to add. Will show the origin/time of the reply, what smtp hops, as well as the from email address. Not hard to set q=mx on nslookups. To me, the same or more as the receipt from the recipient of the letter I also sent. At least I have a person in the email reply who acknowledged and pointed me to the website with reference to the MD bs. The letter with return receipt will not show that, only that they received it. Like others stated, I could have sent a box of chocolates. Why else would I correspond to the BATFE? Not really on my Christmas card list.
I have a reply to my email from the BATFE. The MD law never said you had to send a letter, only that you had to get approval from the ATF, which I didn't because they already approved me to own it by it not being illegal. MD can suck it. They don't have the resources to go door to door looking for rapid fire trigger activators.
So what do they deem as rapid fire? More than three shots per minute? Damn musket. One pew per two seconds? So if I shoot every three seconds and then decide to do double taps or shoot every one second, the horror!!! I just made myself against the law!!! My Home Alone face. SMH....
It doesn't pertain to rapid fire. It's anything that increases the rate of fire.
