HARTFORD ~ New Britain-based Stag Arms LLC pleaded guilty Tuesday to violating federal firearms laws and as part of a plea agreement president and owner Mark Malkowski agreed to sell the company and have no further ownership or management role in a gun manufacturer.
Malkowski pleaded guilty on behalf of the company in federal court in Hartford to a felony count of possession of machine guns not registered to the company.

Malloy, Blumenthal, Murphy must be peeing themselves with joy. Bleck!
Obama did it.
Oh the disadvantages of firearms building in CT. He should have moved west YEARS ago! Hard to imagine CT/MA were the seeds of our Revolution. Breaks my heart...
Actually, he didn’t have his paperwork in order.
Don’t mess with the ATF.
I see Virginia had some hanky-panky with their reciprocity law.

The radical left-wing liberals are at it again.
Eleven machine guns were registered to an entity in the Philippines, one to a police department and 25 to another manufacturer. The remaining 25 machine gun receivers - the portion of the firearm that houses the operating parts and on which the serial number is engraved - did not have serial numbers, the government said.
The BATF is really a stickler for having 't's crossed and 'i's dotted, so not having paperwork or missing firearms are a definite problem. While an individual can possess a firearm they made for themselves without a serial number, a manufacturer who is going to sell a firearm is required to identify the firearms with a unique number.
For the purpose of the laws, a machine gun may simply be the receiver of the firearm, a part normally identified by a serial number.
There were also other arms not on the premises which were listed in inventory. Neither situation is desirable when the BATF comes to check out paperwork. Expect more of this stuff.
I believe they had a bunch of lowers just sitting around with no serial numbers.
If they can't get it through the legislature, they will try a workaround...
“Actually, he didn’t have his paperwork in order.”
Der Gestapo doss not like eet eef der paperverk ist nicht in ordern! Perhaps morale vill improof now, ja?/s;)
And by what Constitutional authority does Fedzilla impose that paperwork on him?
I believe RUSH calls him “Terry the thug McCauliffe?”
Got a permit for that freedom?
Rush just calls him “The Punk”. BATF loves to bust people for paperwork violations. It’s safe and easy, unlike going after Mexican cartels or terrorist cells.
To every federal agency, the paperwork is the most important item. No matter how well the company performs, the quality of their work, or the amount of money it makes, they will go down every time if the paperwork is not perfect.
You misspelled the name of the Hartford, Connecticut newspaper. It is the Hartford Cou-Cou-Rant.
Just a way of making gun manufacturers all bow down to the power of the federal government.
Good choice of words. Fedzilla is exercising power not authority. They utterly lack authority in this matter. They have seized power.
Stag Arms move out of the kook state of Connecticut.
Another reason to have Ted Nugent run the BATF.
