So I follow quite a few different gun related YouTube channels, Hickok45 being one of them. Quite often he, as well as other channels, will make a video with an NFA item that was loaned to them; sometimes it's a full auto firearm, SBR, or suppressor.
This got me thinking, does the NFA have any type of rules for someone loaning an NFA item to someone who hasn't taken the necessary steps to own one themselves? Could someone technically "loan" an NFA item to someone forever? If a popular channel like Hickok45 is making a video with a loaned NFA item, then obviously that in of itself is not illegal, but how would the ATF even know how long it was loaned for?
