When I was a six year old I used to imagine I could convert my cap guns to shoot real bullets.

Actually a few of them can be converted after a fashion but it strikes me that it would be just as easy to make one from scratch.

A.T.F. - After They Fail the test to be a Mall Cop.

Pathetic ... they say that these AirSoft toys could be converted to REAL weapons ... are they serious! Or are they just STUPID!

When they said that the toys being shipped did not have the red tip on them ... I can virtually say with almost 100% certainty that THEY, the ATF, removed the red tips in order to set up a “bust”.

What fools ... the problem is they are dangerous fools and anti-American to boot.

I’m still waiting for the ATF to wade into the ‘hoods and disarm the Crips, Bloods, Latin Kings, MS-13, etc.

Yeah, I’m not going to hold my breath.

The ATF claimed the toy guns were seized because they could be converted to actual machine guns! If they are going to lie like that to cover such a bungled operation, they really need to practice coming up with a better cover story. That lie is pathetic... but I guess it is so very hard for the Feds to ever admit making a mistake.

The ATF can’t possibly think this can really be converted to a “real” gun, can they?

And these “special” agents make how much per year?

I will sleep better at night when these dangerous toy guns are off the street and not in the hands of the ATF. I mean, they might put their eye out!

“ATF agenst insist that the toys can be converted to military grade firearms... but will not provide documentation unless a Freedom of Information request is filed”.

That is because the idiots at the ATF are LYING through their teeth. It is well known that the ATF doesn’t even have written instructions so the average field agent can tell a machine gun from an ordinary semi-automatic or from a malfunctioning weapon.

There should be a simple test for this.

The agent(s) claiming the airsoft guns are convertible to full auto firearms get 4 hours in a well equipped workshop. Lower receiver components may be replaced, but the receiver itself may not be modified. After 4 hours, they take the converted weapon to the range and fire a magazine through it in full auto.

Either the rifle gets fired or the agents get fired.
