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.

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.

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

Yeah, right, a plastic toy gun can be converted to fire live ammo "with a minimal of work". These a**hats made a mistake and now they are trying to cover their a** by making idiotic statements to justify their stealing this load of fake guns.

What a bunch of Jack Booted cowards! Maybe it’s time they got their asses kicked again the way they had it handed to them at Mount Carmel. They faced REAL guns there and on live TV they had to lay down their weapons and with their hands raised, go in to recover their wounded. David Koresh may have been a first rate nut job but he gave the ATF an asskicking they had been in sore need of for a long time. Looks like they are cruising for another one.

"The Martins said they've received shipments before from Taiwan that were missing the orange tips and were simply asked by customs agents to drive up to Tacoma and paint the tips orange themselves. They are wondering why it is an issue now."

I wondered from the first time I heard this story if it wasn't something like this. A LOT of imports are modified after being received in-country to meet various specialized requirements. The BATFE once again prove themselves to be fools.

Abolish the uneeded ATF. It is a waste of money.

IMO, this is a good smell test article. If you are not furious/outraged, then you just don’t “get it,” and will likely be abetting the coming totalitarian regime. You might as well be putting on lipstick and greasing up your old brown-eye. I’ll be purchasing more ammo, rations, etc.

Wouldn’t it be nice if the ATF went after gangbangers instead of guns which **might** go bang after $10,000 worth of work?
