Well, maybe they should. Maybe they should also smoke tobacco, eat transfats, drive gas guzzlers and ask for plastic instead of paper at the grocery store.
They will be found then.
Self ping for later read, bumping to top of ping list as part of FR catch up.
Wrong. The rifle came that way from the manufacturer. I followed the whole sordid story over on AR15.com.
Guy has rifle. Loans it to a friend for some range time. Feebies get a report from snitch. Guy lands in hot water.
Even the court transcripts show the Feebies were screwing with the rifle to get it to slam fire.
This is a railroad job from the get go.
There was no "illegal" modification of this rifle. Period.
The one in this guys rifle apparently did. This in no way means he modified the rifle for full auto. It was a MALFUNCTION.
And this guy is now a felon because of an over-zealous out of control rogue agency that has no Constitutional authority to exist in the first place.
Anyone think BATF wouldn't leap at a chance for a easy statistic without personal risk to themselves? (trust me I know BATF after a twenty year career as a LEO) Now a couple of ex-cons holed up in a cheap hotel room with a sawed off shotgun?
NAW
Too risky ... they'll be 'at training" should local LEO call for assistance in a case like above.
Totally worthless agency :^(
Summbuddy ought to ask them why they didn't file on a crooked sheriff with a stolen M-2 in his procession after he retired ***See Tidwell, Floyd for further details***
