| What ever happened to the Russian AK guy at the gunshows? I haven't seen them in a while. |

Since when did you start believing liberal lies and acting on them? Ghassan Haddad is a good guy that got screwed by the nazis. I thought you knew better than to believe gun grabbing liars.

Maybe it was a knee jerk reaction. I didn't personally know the guy. Bottom line, if you keep company with skin heads and Nazis you're gonn'a get burned. Now for the disclaimer: It is quite possible for the media to falsely label someone as a Nazi or skinhead, in fact that is highly probable.  However, if these guys atually were telling people (and ATF undercover agents) how to convert AK-47's to full auto while renting a table at WAC then I have a problem with that. The libs would like nothing more than to shut down WAC completely. If we have some loose cannons trying to make a few extra bucks and hurt our cause in the process then those people should go. The next reasonable qusetion is did these guys really do this shit? I don't know but WTF I always thought mike loftus was a good guy too! All I'm saying is if these guys did this shit then they should go down for it. If they didn't do anything and it is all a liberal media/government smear job then that is a different thing by itself. Then we have a bigger problem.

Ghassan was a regular at WAC and completely within the laws and rules of the state and WAC all he did is supply information about the AK rifle system. Kieth G is a total dumbfucking nazi but was just used as a tool to demonize Ghassan, Ghassan had NO relationship with Kieth G and associates, you know Joe or Don would never knowingly allow illegal activity at a WAC table, the murdering lying ATFE will do and say anything to take a good man down, Kieth had it coming but Ghassan's only I am sick to death of the tyranny, no person or property were injured and hence there is no crime, paying out millions of dollars for a corrupt agency to persecute people for crimes that do not exist is the ultimate injustice. |

Considering the ATF's record on "illegal" machine gun allegations.. I don't believe them on this one. Remember folks, the ATF can say what is and is not a machine gun, their little rulings change from time to time unfortunatly Besides that, the NFA, GCA '68, and the machine gun ban amendment to FOPA were all unconstitutional, but thats a different debate.. Right now though, illegal is illegal, whether its constitutional or not. We all get a bad name by doing stuff like that under the radar. |

There are some good feds, but they aren't the type of people who run around doing things most of us disagree with. There are also some out of control feds who think their "powers" are whatever they dream up. The feds need an oversight panel instead of being able to wash away whatever they don't like. Sadly, some of the ATF guys I've dealt with have fallen into the second catagory. |
There is such a panel in the constitution but it does not exist today as originally designed, the oversight panel is a jury, they have the power to punish anyone including judges for breach of the peace, but that assumes the jury members are competent and know the laws of their own country which at present they do not, the U.S. really has become a nation of Homer Simpsons.

You guys crack me up. I love watching the wheels spin whenever Strat hands down an opinion or alternate theory, and then everyone remembers they are supposed to be fighting the "man", Big Brother, "La Machina" and all those "evil, oppressive laws". That's just entertainment you don't get on primetime cable!  |
I truly hope that is a call for complete anarchy. Otherwise, you're just begging for a dictatorship.

It is truely unfortunate that some agents choose to be predatory. It makes dealing with the ATF a risky business. The ATF could be a lot of help to gun owners. They could help keep us on the straight and narrow, if they had a co-operative attitude. As it stands, the ATF are the last people I'd want to contact for information, lest I find the beast at your door. There are people here who study the law in order to obey it, rather than exploit it for their careers. |

The BATFE first started in 1792 as the IRS tax enforcement goon squad, it has had different names through the years but has always been the most lucrative tax collection agency being the highest producer of any single agency within government. That means the BATFE has a profit motive but no moral justification, the individual agents then must invent some mechanism to salve their conscience as banditry is nothing to be proud of, so they demonize their victims as criminals worse than themselves in order to rationalize their own dastardly deeds, which makes it a very dangerous and powerful enemy much to be feared. |
| In twenty years as a FFL ,I have had many,many people in the store ask me "how easy is it to make this full auto'?My answer has always been "have not a clue".End of disscusion.Why would anyone talk to a total stranger about any of those subjects.Being in the gun biz. and being clueless is not going to work for very long.Folks who work around weapons ,know what they know! |
I'd be happy to have term limits... and senators being up every two years, makes them think before voting on something. Here we got guys that've been in the upper levels of government for 40+ years  Shit rolls down hill... |
For a FFL dealer that is a good policy but for people at gunshows information on NFA is very useful when buying used firearms, if I buy a used UZI or AK or AR I want to know what parts are semi and what parts are not and if the firearm has ever been tampered with, you never really know what all has been done on a used gun from a gunshow. Knowledge and information should never be illegal, basically they are busting people for thought crimes that do not exist. |
Hey its constructive posession! Next thing you know, owning a hack saw and a shotgun will be considered having an SBS! 
|
There was a thread in GD a few days ago about a judge saying a man with a machine shop has constructive intent to manufacture. It does not matter how cynical I get I can not keep up. |
Insanity... They'll get you, if they can't find something legit they'll make it up. Oooh, you own a wood screw and a Glock. MACHINE GUN! Or a shoe string! Good thing I wear romeos!

To give you an idea of the resources at their disposal, back in the 90's I was still listed as Fair Machine Company, everybody listed as a machine shop got one fly-over of a P-3 Orion with MAD boom except me that got three visits from the bird doing slow point turns around the shop, all kinds of helicopters used to fly over and C-130's and once even a visit from a F-15 Eagle. Once when walking back to the 200 meter line a C-130 was flying by, i was temped to make a rude gesture but decided to wave freindly like instead, the someone was watching as the pilot waved back with the wings of the plane. |
