The recent NYSRPA V Bruen case we will soon see, will have a tremendous impact on my case.
Maybe they'll just have to get it back from the guy who took it home... ATF version of a war trophy...I hope so man! I'm sure they've destroyed the rifle at this point, but I hope you stick it to the bastards and get a good payout over it.
Except tossing it in a barrel in the locker with a dozen other guns broomsticks and the likeI filed an injunction months ago that prevented them from doing anything with the M14NM.
Welcome to the forum.I believe there is no part of the law that states the Police are responsible for returning seized items in the same condition in which they were initially seized. Which is why some people have gotten their property back in a parts bin with missing parts and with rust damage to the point of being worthless or unusable.
This. Never under any circumstances give them any information about anything unless you have an attorney (who actually understands firearm law) present.First mistake was letting ATF know you had it.
The atf is like the pile a cow left in the field, it stinks worse after you step in it.Good luck with this whole mess and thanks for sharing that the atf is not to be trusted or inquired of.
You should have never invited the atf to be involved.My attorney advised me to notify ATF so there would be no doubt of the legality of it.
I notified them on May 19. I felt that even if they ruled it was a machine gun I would be best off if I had an 07 FFL so I applied, was interviewed and got it in the mail on Saturday 8/23. I sent ATF an email that day.
