“So the Feds are freaking that someone might spend $1500 to acquire a crappy one-shot .22 pistol?”
It’s a precedence they are setting. This time it’s a crappy single shot .22. Technology will advance, but nobody is really challenging the Fed in seizing the CAD files.
The Fed doesn’t care about THIS gun. The Fed cares about future weapons it can’t tax and control. YOUR gubment hard at work, and not a peep about the constitutionality or the precedent set.
If there IS a revolution the Feds do NOT fear going head to head with citizens armed with AR or AK rifles.they will just bring out the tanks, drones, flame throwers and such.
But they cannot defend absolutely against a back alley confrontation, parking lot, elevator, stairwell assassination of a person with a Liberator style pistol, especially after its been taken past metal detectors.
taking out the Federal warriors one at a time with a disposable cheap .22 pistol is what they fear the most, because it would work.
