After Colluding with Biden, BATFE Raids Polymer80
NRA Institute for Legislative Action ^ | Wednesday, December 16, 2020 | NRA-ILA

Posted on 01/03/2021 7:14:59 AM PST by Texas Fossil

On December 10, agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives raided Dayton, Nev.-based Polymer80. The company manufactures unfinished,  referred to as 80 percent, receivers/frames. There are also reports of BATFE confronting Polymer80 customers and confiscating certain unfinished frame kits. The move marks the first direct assault on unfinished frames/receivers since the news broke in November of collusion between BATFE and Biden's transition/team to target these items by executive fiat.View Related Articles

On November 10, gun rights activist John Crump published a piece for Ammoland.com with details of a leaked BATFE conference call in which BATFE Acting Director Regina Lombardo and Associate Deputy Director Marvin Richardson participated. According to the article, “Acting Director Regina Lombardo told those in attendance that the anti-gun Biden transition team has reached out to the ATF to get the agency’s ‘top priorities.’” The item went on to note that “Lombardo told those on the call that her priorities would be pistol braces and 80% lower receivers.”

It appears BATFE couldn't wait for inauguration day to commence their attack on the firearms industry/gun owners.

Federal statute (18 U.S.C. 921(a)(3)) defines "firearm" in part as, "(A) any weapon(including a starter gun) which will or is designed to or may readily be converted to expel a projectile by the action of an explosive; (B) the frame or receiver of any such weapon​." In the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), “firearm frame or receiver” is further 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 Federal Firearms License (FFL) is required to commercially manufacture or deal in firearms. Further, licensees must comply with background check and record-keeping requirements when selling firearms.

Fair chance that Slow Joe and the Ho will meet their first real active resistance when they get serious on trying to destroy the 2nd Ammendment.

They will not stop until they are afraid. Truly afraid. And hopefully, those millions of folks who do own firearms will finally decide that Democrats can shove it up their collective Dorkbamaholes.

One of my boys, who works in the financial area, joked that we should invest in 80% lower futures.

If Dems get control of the Senate, there will be a push to enact more gun control legislation. Some might pass, some might not.

You think weapons and ammo are hard to come by now? Try in 6 months.

A small price to pay according to some, who are actually supporting Republicans to lose on Tuesday.

There are library books detailing how the Nazis and
then in turn the Communists took over Czechoslovakia; all firearms were confiscated at the beginning and anyone who argued against it was imprisoned or shot on the spot. Even ammo was taken, if you got caught with any ammo when your residence was searched, well, You know the rest. That went for cap and ball antiques. Beatoff O’Rourke’s goal is to turn the USA into a socialist State for Joe, but he must have your guns to accomplish this. He will start with mags and then long rifles, then its history repeated.

I remember years ago when Henry Kissinger,

Kissinger Tells President Medvedev... ‘By September We’ll Have CONFISCATED ALL PRIVATELY OWNED GUNS...’ (Updated May 25, 2009)

https://tekgnosis.typepad.com/tekgnosis/2009/04/kissinger-by-september-well-have-confiscated-all-privately-owned-guns.html

(Kissinger appologists deny this, but I think I remember hearing an interview when he stated that.)

I loathed the old Globalist Puke even before that.,

Why do you think the cv19 response is so very important to them?

It’s not just conditioning people to follow dictates but also getting them to become piggies feeding at the trough ... to get people demanding government help them since government hurt them first via the shutdowns ** ... because the Left is past ready to put up the fence, close the gate, and finally start slaughtering formerly wild hogs.

** you may have seen people talking these points here on FR

The left may “think” they are ready.

I know lots of people who will make their life hell if they try.

Or Molotov cocktails?

A month ago I bought new .38 sp, lg boxes double the size from the range. Sat it was 2-50 Reloads from Military Surplus store, last 2 they had. Had minor repair to a 16 yr old unused 9 mm Ruger to be sure it works well. Late husband’s carry weapon. Had been in gun safe these last 16 yrs. I use a Taurus Ultra Lite .38 snub nose revolver, Arthur got my hands along with R dominate hand surgery. 4 yrs of home rehab, fine motor skills are just coming back for short periods without PAIN.

Need a holster for the Ruger 9 mm. Semi-Soft waist carry clip on. Extra clip too.

they are going to start confiscating water pipe and nipples, rubber bands and firecrackers, just a few for starters.

What are the odds of several mass shootings in the near future to push the issue?

Confiscate?

Explosive word.

Fatal consequences. They don’t understand the price that will be paid.
