I never said it was “easy”. It’s not. As the other guy pointed out, it’s a months long, expensive, and personally invasive process to obtain a FFL. That being said, certain individuals are highly motivated to go through the process anyways. My original point was that the entire process becomes streamlined so long as you don’t mind presenting yourself as a conservative. I’ve heard of people being turned down for a years old social media post, but somehow the redhats don’t run into the same issues.

Well I’m glad you clarified then. For a minute there, I thought your original point was that an FFL was an easy loophole to legal machine gun and suppressor ownership in California. Since the ATF regulates FFLs, how does one “present themself as a conservative” during a presumably remote, paper-driven process?
There is at least one in person interview with a representative of the ATF. In my neck of the woods, that means someone down at the local sherrif department.
