The ATF/FBI came to talk to me yesterday.

Cease and desist what? You didn't break a law otherwise you wouldn't be here right now.

More to the tune of “if you get caught with this thing again, you are in deep shit”.

You should go buy a Hawaiian shirt in protest.

I agree. What is there to cease desist, if no laws were broken?

That IMO borders on intimidation on their part.

I concur

It was definitely a “shot across the bow”.

I expect we will be hearing about many more visits like this, the idea being to strike fear and spread it around.

It's not going to be a good optic for government...

I bought a solvent trap last year, I have a gun meme page on instagram, I follow a lot of “boog boy” pages, and I am a white male right winger.

Yep.....guilty!

Such tactics, IMO border on intimidation. I use to have an amount of respect for federal LE, but shit like this, is exactly why I don't anymore.

Up until some years ago, I thought most of the ineptness was in the top floors of the Hoover building. Seems the ground troops in the FBI are just as bad.

 

[kbaxter60]

Yes, that is 100% all it takes. They issued me a “cease and desist” letter and said I wasnt in any trouble, and went on their merry way.

Cease and desist WHAT???
Being white?

Maybe? The letter specifically refers to the buying and selling of machine guns.

 

[Axxe55]

So a "solvent trap" is now classified and defined as being a "machine-gun" part?

These people are idiots!

 

[Maverick44]

So a solvent trap is a machinegun now?

That was my reaction as well.

Thank you for sharing their lovely letter.
But why didn't you just TELL US you were selling high performance parts?

 

[Maverick44]

Yeah, I saw that pop up the second I posted mine, lol.

 

[unicom]

So solvent trap = machine gun. Ok.

I was not, its just a blanket form the use. I have absolutely no involvement with automatic firearms in any fashion other than renting one every now and then.

Blanket form used by the ATF. I ran it by my lawyer and he concurred.

Ahhh... what's the difference? It's all the same 10 years...

 

[unicom]

I’m glad it went well for you over all

This sort of jack-booted thuggery is exactly why I have lost any respect or use for any federal agency that has their name reduced down to letters of the alphabet.
