Fill and Sign Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Forms
The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) is a component within the U.S. Department of Justice that has been created to regulate illicit activities connected to unlawful sales and purchases of guns and explosive devices and tax evasion committed by marketplace agents involved in tobacco and alcohol distribution. This agency has several main targets, and one of them is to prevent unauthorized production, possession, and use of firearms, increase awareness about gun use, and sanction armed felons, arms traffickers who operate domestically and abroad, and violent criminal groups - those who break the rules put in place to safeguard the public.

Here you can find ATF Forms that govern transfers, taxation, and permits related to the production and possession of various weapons.
