Google up “ATF Institutional Perjury” sometime. They’ve been doing it for decades.

Criminals will always be able to get guns.

The American “war on drugs” is in its 111th year. Law enforcement is being beat in every town and city I could name.

The NRA should offer gun making workshops for leftist legislators so the leftists understand that “gun control” is as impossible as me flying to Richmond, Virgina by beating my arms furiously.

I'm no expert on any part of the Constitution...and that goes double for the 2nd Amendment. But there's one thing I'm sure of: no state,county or municipality should have the legal authority to regulate in *any* way the manufacture,sale,purchase,possession or reasonable use (that is,except when use of a firearm is connected to a crime) of a firearm. The only legislative body that should have the authority to do so is the United States Congress...House and Senate.

And,of course,any such laws passed by Congress would be subject to Constitutional scrutiny by the Federal courts as are all other laws passed by Congress.

The state I live in is bordered by two states that basically have no laws restricting firearm purchase or possession yet in my state you have to know a politician or a police chief to even possess a stun gun,let alone a firearm.

I find this news surprising - not the fact that ATF is violating the law but that one of their (former) agents continues to testify on the side of truth. That’s a better percentage than I expect from BATFE.

Dump GCA 68 and NFA 34. Get back to the guarantee as written and quit guessing what the founders thought.

the article avoids stating the details of the law or what is in "conflict".

Under the US Code of Federal Regulations, a firearm frame or receiver is defined as: “That part of a firearm which provides housing for the hammer, bolt or breechblock, and firing mechanism, and which is usually threaded at its forward portion to receive the barrel.”

A quick review of the AR-15 lower:
-houses the hammer [check]
-houses the bolt [nope]
-houses the breachblock - i.e. closes the chamber [nope]
-houses the firing mechanism - firing pin [nope]

the ATF has been deliberately misinterpreting a key gun control regulation for decades

The idiots at CNN completely miss the significance this sentence.

Innumerable people have been arrested and had their lives ruined for not breaking the law because the ATF determined that's what should be.

All the baloney about evil criminals, making innumerable numbers of AR-15s to terrorize the general population is complete hogwash.

Even in some bizarre Universe if that were true, The ATF is not protecting anyone by putting citizens who have not broken the law into jail. The ATF is in violation of the law not the people. The policymakers at the ATF should be in jail. This is a rogue government agency that decides who should be free who should be arrested based on their own criteria and the hell with the law. This is despotism in its purest sense.

The ATF expressly and specifically said that bumps stocks were not regulated by law. With no action by congress, they are now illegal to possess. I’m still trying to figure out how that works.

You can bet the number of crimes committed with AR-15s built on home finished receivers is insignificant, if not immeasurable. And what might be the statistics on crimes being solved because most firearms used in crimes are factory built and the most recent legal owner completed a Form 4473 & was NICSed?
