This is a general heads up concerning the ATF. The ATF has been showing up at peoples homes asking them to turn in things like solvent cleaners, and forced reset triggers.
The feds usually don't have a warrant but are asking people to "voluntarily" hand over the items. How do the feds know which homes to go to? Some people have suggested that the common denominator is that many of these people purchased items from GunBroker.com. GunBroker is like ebay for guns and gun related items. It's 100% legal and follows all state and federal laws.
So how are the feds targeting gunbroker clients? Some speculate that the feds are acting as the seller, some speculate that gunbroker or some vendors with gunbroker are cooperating with the feds. We really don't know.
But we do know that people who bought certain items from gunbroker have been visited by the feds. I'm putting this out as a simple heads up to the Freeper community.
Call the local LEO and report them like one FReeper posted a while back. Last month or so IIRC. Video was with it. Fed on the ground whining “I can’t breath, I have a medical condition!”.
Well, well...
The BATF is looking at data from NCIS.
I bought some BLM-Be-Gone on Gunbroker recently. Will I get a visit?
As I stated back when the internet started, anything online can be considered public information......there is less protection of privacy on the internet than on the telephone. But even the telephone now may go through an IP network, and so no real protection there....for example if you have an “agreement” with the long haul networks....
There is no law against solvents, so tell them to have a nice day
Don’t answer the door
Problem solved
At the time of purchase, forced reset triggers and solvent cleaners were NOT NAF items. There should have been no background checks on these items at the time. Curioser and curiouser.
So you don’t really know anything but you’re rumormongering all the same.
I just looked up gunbroker.com on ICANN and the webite registrant’s information is redacted. I don’t know how common it is for a website operator’s information to be redacted, but it seems curious.
You can run a search here to see it with your own eyes.

Well, there is a solvent patch catcher that looks like a 2 liter pop bottle that you attach to the end of your muzzle.
It catches those messy patches when cleaning.
Does it have an alternate purpose?
Maybe a BAD purpose?
The ATF seems to find a bad purpose for anything a gun owner does.
That video was from 2020. It also didn’t work out the way that you think it did.
That ATF agent was released without charges, because he has federal Neagle immunity. Nothing the locals could do about it.
And then he filed a 42 USC 1983 lawsuit against those officers.

Great advice. I’m dialing 911 if some feds show up.
The ATF knows how to search GunBroker, too, just like the rest of us.
They search for a "solvent trap" or Rare Breed Trigger auction that completed, go hit up the seller and 'persuade' them to reveal the buyer's name, then go pay the buyer a visit.
Basic police work, actually.
Be gone Fed troll.
It started with the NSA cooperating with 5 eyes Intel branch in Australia ratting on Australians buying some parts.
FBI is probably getting CIA and NSA info against us, which is illegal

And what was the outcome of the lawsuit?
NO would be a good answer.
Hello 911 emergency, there is a strange man at my door demanding I hand over my personal property, Oh Shit he has a GUN, Hurry and SMASH THE PHONE.
n my case 30 years ago I ripped it out of the wall, set the NAZI’s career back by 20 years when the entire force and my lawyer showed up
What the hell do they want solvent cleaners for? Are they drinking it or something?
