In addition to the fact that Amazon.com is now the worlds largest marketplace of contaminated, untested dietary supplements and food, a Natural News investigation confirms that Amazon.com has rolled out a gun-running sting operation to get its own customers charged with felony crimes by the ATF.
Amazon.com, which has always prohibited the sale of firearms, has been openly selling a Glock-compatible full auto conversion device that turns a pistol into a fully automatic weapon. We are not linking to the purchase page for the simple reason that Amazon.com is running a trap, and we dont want anyone to accidentally fall into that trap and end up spending 10 years in federal prison for buying this device from Amazon.
This device, for sale on Amazon.com for a mere $68 and described as an Airsoft accessory, is part of a sting operation where Amazon.com is attempting to entrap its own customers so that they can be raided by the ATF and charged with felony crimes for illegally possessing class-III (full auto) firearms conversion devices, which are strictly prohibited under federal law unless you complete an exhaustive application and approval process with the ATF.

Here is the Amazon ad, from the article:
Don't fall for this trap - you'll get yourself in a heap of trouble!
See the linked article for all of the details
It is for an AIRSOFT gun.
Amazon.com is now the worlds largest marketplace of contaminated, untested dietary supplements and food
The page is now gone from Amazon.
Ugh. Sounds like “fake news.”
“Sos your old man.”
Yon’t like it, then how about responding with something a little more factual and logical? Unless, of course, you’re about 8 years old and don’t know how.
The seller is “Military Base” not Amazon directly.
If it ever existed.
I went looking for it myself - and found the same thing. Perhaps they got enough complaints, perhaps this article exposed the entrapment, who knows.
What is important is that it was posted at one time - which means that similar scams/entrapments will likely occur in the future. Just be careful.
Yes, that’s what it is advertised as - which, apparently, is the whole “trick” being played here.
But if you read the article, it points out that the parts in question can be used to convert a REAL Glock to full auto - and mere possession of such a kit, even if you don’t use it to actually convert a Glock, is illegal.
I wonder if Amazon took down the comments warning of a felony with purchase. If so, that’s outright entrapment.
I hope they get a ton more of comments and complaints of entrapment.
Amazon is not a law enforcement agency and should not be involved in stings. You can have individual informants work as such but not the whole company. Was the whole company deputized or recruited as an informant? I doubt it.
“The seller is Military Base not Amazon directly.”
They’ve apparently taken down the entire ad - Megan C searched for it, and so did I, both without result.
But, yes, it would seem like Amazon is participating in (yet another) criminal enterprise involving the BATFE.
Would make nice presents for the family.
“Would make nice presents for the family.”
Yeah, imagine if we actually lived in a world in which citizens were free to buy what they want, when they want, without government threatening to put them in jail for it. My grandfathers lived in such a world - at least regarding firearms - until 1934. It would make me supremely happy if my grandchildren could also live in such a world.
skip to the end.
I would not want to do this to a Glock,it can’t be good for them.
Big magazines. Dorks with guns.

Ah, but how!?
The Second Amendment is clear that the keeping and bearing of arms shall not be infringed
, and even the 'argument' that it only applies to the militia is circumvented in many states due to the State Constitution having verbiage similar to the militia consists of all able bodied males 16 to 45
.
It would probably last about two seconds on a real pistol.
Constructive possession, having the parts even if not assembled gets you an ATF visit.
I wonder how they reconcile selling threaded pipes and Ammonium 34-0-0
