They have been in the gun business over 200 years.
Lancaster made rifles were even given, by the US Government, to the Cheyenne at the Washita, for them to hunt buffalo. Only they did not hunt buffalo. They went on killing raids of settlers, in Kansas resulting in Custer’s authorized raid on their village in 1868.
I wish the journalistic integrity checkers at CNN well.
If they did their job CNN would have nothing left to publish.
553? Hit too many keys. It should be 53 years when Johnson signed the 1968 Gun Control act into Law.
I am all for the right to private sales without paperwork; however, if he was selling a lot of guns to various people for profit, he should have got an FFL to deal.
One thing missing from the story is whether any ATF person had ever suggested that he get licensed. A rule of thumb over the years was 50 sales. But if this raid came out of the blue he’s lucky they didn’t “Kenyon Ballew” him. About 1971, in their first door buster, the ATF shot Ballew in the head on the say-so of a 14 year old kid who claimed Ballew had a weapons stash. All he had was an 1847 repro cap and ball pistol!
Polluting the Grand Canyon and the Colorado River will not help anyone. Take them to the East River in New York. It wont be noticed
How do you do that without a photo ID?
And how do you sell to customers that do not have a photo ID for religious reasons?
This makes me hate the jack-booted ATF even more: attacking a bunch of peaceful Christian farmers. We have GOT to get rid of that Federal agency.
NO. That is NOT what 18 U.S. Code §922 says. The ATF is a bunch of jack-booted Federal thugs, out of control, no different than any gang. What part of “shall not be infringed” are you unclear about?
It is clear to me that this is a clear case of his 2nd Amendment being violated by the law requiring him to show an ID, or to have a FFL to sell said firearms.
Thank God for the ATF.
That would be an excellent start.

HAR!
I can see it
They don’t pay into social security, I’m not sure about medicare tax but I think they don’t pay that as well. They do pay state, federal and their property taxes and collect sales taxes on any stuff they sell to the public. They are hardly tax cheats. What they barter between themselves is another issue but I don’t want any tax guys getting nosy trying to find out! There are lots of “in kind services” they might trade between themselves that could be considered taxable if properly valued, but if no talky and no paper worky...then no records to audit.
Part of the right wing threat.
That's utterly impossible.
Apparently, “a lot of guns” isn’t defined.
The LBJ “judge” on that one was a total government stooge.
They should just start lending them to ppl, like the library does. Return them after a year and get another one. Easy peasy.
