Boy, they sure have their anti-gun lingo down.
Here's my fav: "The Reids allegedly bought the guns overseas and then added adapters to the guns, making them [b]even more dangerous[/b]." What the f*ck does that mean? |

Never heard of their store.
ATF agents said that Victor Reid, Jr., and his mother, Loretta (pictured, left), were reconfiguring guns and turning them into illegal assault weapons. The Reids allegedly bought the guns overseas and then added adapters to the guns, making them even more dangerous. Horrors. Sounds dangerous doesn't it? Mom, Son Allegedly Sold Dangerous Guns That's actually the headline. As opposed to warm, fuzzy and safe guns! |

This funny, too:
[b]"Officials believe that the Reids have sold the illegal guns since 1999 and would like to talk to anyone who may have bought one of the guns."[/b] |

Sounds like they added a flash hider!!! You too can end up on TV and provide the feds with something to grandstand over. Be careful out there. |

Officials believe that the Reids have sold the illegal guns since 1999 and would like to talk to anyone who may have bought one of the guns. I bet they would! Wonder if these are AKs/SKSs? |

Noname- They sold all kinds,pistols, military bolt actions, they had some real beat up sks rifles, they would usally have quite a few overpriced pre-ban weapons, and post ban stuff. They actually had a pretty big table.

Hope they didn't do something stupid. A few years ago a large dealer in NorCal was busted and fined $500,000.00 for assembling and selling a couple of 10-22's with sidefolder pistol grip stocks.

My guess is that
they either made some kind of US parts conversion without first submitting it for ATF approval or put some kind of cheesy set screw thread adaptor on the muzzle. |

Before everyone goes to arms, I have dealt with these people. They regularly show up at the gun shows in this area. Most of their prices are out of control to begin with. I did see what looked like a preban Colt sporter II for sale for $1000. Boy was I tempted. The other doc I was with said, they were shady and not to buy it. I wrote down the serial number and checked it. Postban receiver with a preban upper! They also a Arsenal USA AK for $1200 and a 90% Steyr AUG, 20 inch barrel for the bargin basement price of $5500! I did buy some cheap ammo from them however. Never ddid buy a gun. Thank GOD! Im sure the ATF will be contacting evereyone on their records.

Yes, call the BATF and tell them you have an illegal gun. They [i]promise[/i] nothing will happen to you. |

ATF has all the info they need from the form 4473s to start paying visits to all the unsuspecting people who bought these guns. Most of them probably don't even know what they have is illegal. Unfortunately, ignorance of the law is no excuse, no matter how stupid the law is. [rolleyes] |

This reminds me of a story I saw in the Anchorage Daily News late last year. We had a rash of Meth labs burning to the ground in Mountain View, and the police were baffled as to why nobody stepped forward to say that "their" house had burned to the ground. Go figure. |

ATF agents said that Victor Reid, Jr., and his mother, Loretta (pictured, left), were reconfiguring guns and turning them into illegal assault weapons. Well what do you know. Could there be such a thing as a legal assault weapon? Anyone bail bondsmen on the board? |

Lets see how long it takes to plead this case down to a lesser charge of some kind.
I would like to see if this case could be brought up to the higher courts to challenge the consitutional questions of the AWB. [uzi] |

I would advise those who bought from this scum to check what you have and if it ain't what was advertised, sue them for fraud and contact your local prosecutor. There is usually a rule in law that the person bringing the illegal item to the attention of law enforcement does not get charged but would probably be treated as a victim of these unscrupulous charlatans. It appears folks that they were doctoring postbans, and selling them as prebans at preban prices. They were defrauding honest law abiding gun owners and got busted. May they feel the full weight of the law. The victims are the average guys out there that they cheated.

I bought some PMP there once, and almost laid away a 1911 this summer. Glad I didn't... I'm sure anyone who filled out a 4473 will be getting a visit. I talked to that guy at the last Mt. Clemens show a couple of weeks ago - their stuff always did seem overpriced too.
