and not for nothing, but this is exactly how pistol brace enforcement will go. And it'll be worse because pistol braces were broadly embraced by big time makers/retailers as a perfectly legal product (because FATF said they were legal before they said said "just kidding") who have fancy purchase history things on their websites so it'll be very easy to get all the info on everyone who bought them, BECAUSE they were so above board, before they weren't.
this is what tyranny looks like |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Customers, after getting approved form1s, redesigned the solvent traps(making them suppressors), made recommendations to DM.

No info has been posted if DM had unregistered suppressors Quote HistoryQuoted: Customers, after getting approved form1s, redesigned the solvent traps(making them suppressors), made recommendations to DM. DM incorporated those recommendations into their solvent traps. The tech guy had unregistered MGs and suppressors. ETA Disclaimer: AFAIK. No info has been posted if DM had unregistered suppressors Quoted: The tech guy admitted on here to having a bunch of off book machine guns and suppressors. He ratted to save his butt. The ATF retroactively declared DM's products to be suppressors. The ATF had the balls of Chris' employee in a vice (actual long term possession/usage of multiple untaxed MGs and suppressors), and tightened the screw while he sang the tune they provided the lyrics for. So the court took notice of the employee saying undrilled baffles were suppressors and Chris knew they were suppressors, and none of that needed to be factually truthful as long as an informant said it in court, and ATF professional witnesses said the same thing. Quoted: Reading posts over time has given me the impression a lot on here don't like that agency. My FFL does a lot of transfers. I asked if people from the above mentioned agency throw their weight around when doing whatever they do at the FFL. He said no. Your IOI is there to help you, until Merrick Garland tells them their job is to fuck you. |

Even if some of these were being turned into suppressors via a Form 1, why is the government so down on hearing protection? These should be legal to begin with per our 2nd Amendment Right.

The ATF's current position of "silencer part's," is absurd....guys that have an approved F1 on a DIY kit, still have an illegal can because it was not correctly transfered. It's mind boggling, I hope that the SC get's another case involving, executive branch agency's writing opinions that change the law. This, and bump stocks are not as well known, effecting a lot fewer people than braces....once the brace thing goes live, it's going to be an absolute shit show. Multiple guys I know got letters for having F1 kits from DM, and after talking to the special agent that was running the case, they got led to believe they were safe. but I don't like promises from an agency that suddenly is allowed to change it's mind on what is and what is not a felony. |

The Biden Admin is coming for all of us. RIP Chris. DM sold cups that people drilled out to make baffles. There was also a "monocore" type kit. But at the time there were lots of companies who sold similar stuff and weren't hassled. I think DM became the ATF's target when the ATF found out they were sending new cup designs to a guy who was drilling them out to make baffles, then he would test them a report back to DM on their effectiveness. So they were basically working with someone to do R&D on their products as suppressors, but then were selling them as solvent traps. I think its all a load of BS and that nothing should legally be considered a silencer that can't actually be used as a silencer in its current state... but its hard for a business to say they are selling solvent traps when all their R&D is centered around building silencers. They ATF even had texts between the owner and the CS guy saying they should get a FFL/SOT. After a supplier they used to get cups from was raided they were texting each other about shutting down the website and "going dark." Like I said.. I think its all BS and don't agree with it... but it seems that even they knew they had gone too far and were risking some unwanted attention. Just my opinion, but I think the whole R&D part is why the ATF chose to make an example out of DM, while any other company (that got ATF attention) making and selling similar parts was just told to cease and desist. But it also helped that the CS guy was found to have enough NFA violations to be looking at decades in prison.. so they had someone who would roll on the other guys to save his own ass. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: @peacematu He doesn’t deal with ATF agents in his FFL dealings. That’s not who handles that side of the house. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: What an incredible fucking waste. Fuckheads at the ATF probably high-fived when they heard he killed himself, too. Fucking slime. Reading posts over time has given me the impression a lot on here don't like that agency. My FFL does a lot of transfers. I asked if people from the above mentioned agency throw their weight around when doing whatever they do at the FFL. He said no. @peacematu He doesn’t deal with ATF agents in his FFL dealings. That’s not who handles that side of the house. @AKFF I'm pretty sure he was referring to audits or something like that, when they show up at his place of business. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: At first I wanted to scream traitor. But realistically, they were told “make our case or lose your life”. He was a pawn, the ATF rewriting their own “laws” is the reason the owner is dead.  Would they have charged him with a crime if he didn't help them? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Ever see those guys on construction crews shoveling gravel? Or hauling lumber/electrical supplies up and down stairs or ladders? Those guys. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I always wondered how felons find work when they get out. Ever see those guys on construction crews shoveling gravel? Or hauling lumber/electrical supplies up and down stairs or ladders? Those guys. While a person is young...The person discussed here would be in his late 50s when he got out of prison. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I couldn’t do time. No way. Of course I wouldn’t suicide myself either. Not in my DNA. I would probably walk into the remote Alaska wilderness and never come back out. I could do the time but not be labled a felon and have my life ruined after I got out of prison. Do you mean die of the elements in the wilderness? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: YOU do realize that I already knew that, right? Getting restored if proven to be rehabilitated and the crime wasn't heinous, I am all for. In fact, a convicted felon who had his rights restored killed someone trying to murder a DPS trooper. And he was no billed. The convicted felon with restored rights saved a LEO's life? |

Quote HistoryQuoted: You're part of THEM. As you make faceless generalizations of people that don't need gun rights, your beliefs line right the hell up with THEIRS. How about one of these 25yo teachers that slept with an 18yo student of hers. She's one of those pedo's right? Make sure she's on your list. How about we don't generalize anyone & let people have their constitutional rights until they individually prove their unworthiness by the facts of their crime. Yes we need more liberal policy. Cashless bail isn't enough. And f the felons for their crimes . The same one continue to terrorize But let's not generalize. |
