BATFE may not like the use of trusts, but they are permitting them to be used to obtain NFA itmes without a CLEO sign-off. Same thing goes for Corps and LLC's.

However, I still agree with you - I don't like them and would only use them as a last resort if I really had to have a particular NFA item. Personally, I think it's too easy for BATFE to retroactively say "no more trusts, corps, etc - all NFA must be registered only to indiviudals or deposited to your nearest BATFE agent for safe keeping".
