She [the lead FBI agent] said that because they were still being examined, she didn't know if weapons seized by investigators last month were illegal.
OMG, how dumb. It only takes a quick look at the receiver to see if a weapon is capable of full auto fire. For barrel length, it just takes a tape measure. This monstrosity is turning into a modern vesion of a typical Janet Reno mass satanic child sex abuse case, where there was no abuse at all.

Hmmmn... I’m not sure if I should get into this because my mind is still being made up about the organization that I am about to reference. However, Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership (JPFO), have asserted in many of their podcasts that the ATF’s protocols for inspecting firearms are undocumented and politically motivated. As one example, the ATF has repeatedly “proven” that common semi-automatic AR-15s are “assault weapons” capable of fully automatic fire. They do this by “inspecting/test firing” the weapon using ammunition with soft primers. This is known to make the AR-15 fire automatically as the firing pin coincidentally hits the primer on each newly chambered round. As with many semi-automatic firearms, this minor primer hit by the firearms is normal and should not ignite the primer. Using soft primers is also dangerous to the operator, dangerous to bystanders, illegal (only in this case because it causes full-auto fire) and tactically stupid so don’t even try it.
I believe there has been some attempt in congress to force the ATF to publish and follow their protocols during testing but I have no idea where that is. If you own an AR-15 and the ATF decides to send you to prison, make sure you don’t drop the soap.
