As to the bolded postions of your response, you're speculating. You don't know that....I'm more inclined to agree with SloStang in that it is likely that FFL's will have the ability to do pictures and fingerprints on site as a courtesy. Who's to say, though? You could be right...but that still leads to my point. All this kerfuffle and Chicken Littling - and yet - still so many unanswered questions.
Right now it is worded that fingerprints will be taken by a qualified party. For my recent need for fingerprints, when I called the ATF and asked them who a "qualified party" was I was told my county sheriff. I have never seen an instance where the federal government or state government will accept fingerprint cards from anyone other than local law enforcement. I don't see them accepting fingerprints done at home or by Jimmy at Jimmy's Gun shop when neither provide any real accountability. To get fingerprinted by my local sheriff, I had to travel to the jail, fill out paperwork, pay a fee, show ID, and then be wait for one of the clerks who was "qualified" to take prints. The sheriffs dept then put their federal "whatever" number on the fingerprint cards and certified that they confirmed I was who I said I was and they as a qualified party took my fingerprints per FBI standards.
