[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Night vision tubes being seized by FBI (Page 1 of 3)

Posted: 1/18/2020 4:51:01 PM EDT

Story over at ZH claims FBI buying up all high-end NV tubes. Industry folks: any truth to this?

Excerpt...

The FBI is now claiming “imminent domain” to essentially seize high-end night vision tubes (that power night vision goggles) from distributors in the United States. This indicates the FBI has an emergency effort under way to acquire large numbers of night vision devices in anticipation of some urgent event which will take place at night (possibly another FBI false flag operation like Oklahoma City or the 1993 attempted World Trade Center bombing which was entirely masterminded by the FBI).

As Dave Hodges is reporting from The Commonsense Show, Bob Griswold from ReadyMadeResources.com relates a shocking event where he had already locked in the purchase of 70 night vision tubes from his distributor, and had those tubes invoiced and committed. Within hours, the FBI claimed imminent domain over the tubes, effectively “seizing” them from Ready Made Resources before they could even be shipped.

We reviewed a letter written to RMR by their distributor, confirming that the government preempted the order to RMR and claimed they had ownership over the gear because they were the government.

An hour ago, I spoke with Griswold on the phone to confirm the situation, and he told me he thought there were, “No more than 200 high-end night vision devices remaining in the entire country.” (This excludes the crappy gen 1 and gen 2 night vision devices, which nobody wants anyway.)

I’m told that inventory units are flying off the shelves and will be gone everywhere in the next 1-2 business days. Yes, there is a run on night vision in America, happening right now.

According to TNVC that's not true.

Going forward they will only have SCOUT, SCION, PVS, LSX/R and BREACH products available for purchase for consumers. They will not be LE or Mil restricted as some other rumors have surfaced. All their warranty support stays the same. Hope this helps with the info traffic.

This is the type of shit that makes our side look like paranoid tinfoil wearing idiots.

Yeah, Tim McVeigh was sure enough a Government agent, running a Government sanctioned OP instead of blowing up a fed building in retaliation for events like Ruby Ridge, Waco, and the AWB recently enacted.

But aren't those FLIR units listed there just "viewers" and not weapon sights? If it appears that FLIR is removing all weapon sights, that is disturbing.

That suggestion that the feds are "actively buying/confiscating" all thermal weapon sights is definitely over-the-top, however.

Pulsar may make out big time if FLIR's stance is true on the weapon sights.

You gotta admit that if law enforcement at local, state, and fed levels was going to actually implement gun confiscation in a serious way, they might like to be the only ones with all the high tech gear, but that's too much tin foil, right?

According to that dumbass article between my close friends and I we have roughly 10% of the "high end" night vision devices in the country.

I'll just chime in to say I don't think this story is that far fetched.

I don't know how anyone can look at current events in America and then be so condescending towards a fellow arfcommer just passing along an article.

Anyone who thinks that OK City or the WTC bombings were FBI operations is most likely mentally unstable and unreliable for any accurate information on any topic
