It is for an AIRSOFT gun.
Amazon.com is now the world’s largest marketplace of contaminated, untested dietary supplements and food
The page is now gone from Amazon.
The seller is “Military Base” not Amazon directly.
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.
Would make nice presents for the family.
“We are not linking to the purchase page for the simple reason that Amazon.com is running a trap, and we don’t want anyone to accidentally fall into that trap and end up spending 10 years in federal prison for buying this device from Amazon.”
And then the article provides an image of the page showing the seller’s name and title of the purchase offer.
Anyone remember the APACHE version of a Thompson sold through gun magazines back in pre-1969 America?
Great looking Thompson knockoff till someone noticed you could press the safety and trigger at the same time and it would go rattatattt!.
Enter the BATF and confiscations. One was shown on the old POLICE STORY, TV show with Hugh O’Brian as a BATF or FBI agent.
A bit misleading - this item is not sold by, NOR shipped by Amazon. It is at 3rd Party seller - an outfit named “Military Base”.
Amazon does not extensively screen 3rd Party sellers unless there are complaints. Pretty much anyone can sign up to be a seller.
Now - is it possible the ATF would set up a sting sales account? Maybe. Though the item listing as an airlift accessory might make an attorney happy - as it could amount to entrapment.
Why buy the part when you can just fashion one yourself with a drimel-style tool. Anyone with any google skills can conjure up the correct information (spirits). Even if the part was made with cheap pot-metal it would probably work for a single magazine. I would not want a full auto pistol - the way a pistol rises up would waste the ammo - better to single squeeze each round and adjust your fire.
Don’t forget the now rescinded 2004 ruling that a shoestring is a machine gun opinion from the ATF, classifying pot scrubbers as silencers, and the recent on again/off again/on again ruling for the SIG brace to be fired from the shoulder.
A law enforcement as schizophrenic as the ATF should probably have their budget cut by at least 1/2.
I’ve got a copy of an old VCR tape made years ago to try and convince the SCOTUS that any semi-auto can be converted to full auto.
Using a shoestring;
A glued on piece of piano wire;
A slight modification of hammer.
Wonder if having that information will soon be banned.Copied it to DVD. Hid somewhere within fifteen miles of here.
