Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw said the toys can be easily retro-fitted into dangerous weapons.

An Airsoft plastic toy converted to a firearm??
What is this clown smoking and why is he working for US?

With even less work a baseball bat can be turned into a dangerous weapon! What a bunch of morons.

Yes, indeed. I think the toy store owner ought to sue those clowns into the ground. Make them look like the doofuses that they are.

I don’t like the ATF seizing toys, but how the heck do 30 toy guns wind up costing $12,000?! That’s $400 per toy gun.

I did not know that Alcohol, Fire arms and tobacco are illegal?

So we know they go after toy guns, probably shut down businesses that sell alcohol to minors, and go after smokes in the local 7-11. So when was their last BIG tobacco bust? This is a serious group with tax payer money well spent! (sarcasm off)

The Martins should consider themselves fortunate that the atf did not wait until the shipment arrived at their place of business. They would have then raided the business, seized the bb guns, and killed the Martins. The atf is comprised of individuals that are considered too whacked out to be fbi agents.

It’s time for the ATF to get it’s wings clipped! The “guns” are made from soft alloy castings, no way will they hold the pressures of live ammo.

The ATF should go after the water pistols. That’s the REAL hotbed!

He ain’t working for ME.

Jack

the real mystery here is why a toy airsoft costs 400 dollars each. I’m sure that alone didn’t pass the batfe smell test. Frankly, the batfe is one more government entity looking for work, and as we have seen in the past, they will find “work” usually at the expense of the average citizen, and the “rights” of said citizen that come from God and are under siege by the batfe.

The second amendment did not arrive courtesy of the batfe.

I’m waiting for Obama to claim that they took 30 machine guns off the streets through strong enforcement.

Specially the pink, semi clear types. Why you could squirt someone in the eye with one. If we can save just one child from being squirted in the eye it will be worth it.

I was THINKING paintguns. Now those pellets are extremely dangerous, especially if you fill them with acid, or anthrax, or plague, or NITRO!
