Yes they are, but, rightfully this should be packed up their ass. In a just world. Which would be good.

However, whether or not he'll receive justice remains to be seen. I wouldn't put money on it.

I don't think you understand the term conspiracy, nor have you read the charging documents. They list them as "Machine gun conversion devices constituting machine guns" and while left in the blank card form no, they are not conversion devices. But when you tell someone and show someone exactly how to make that item you just sold into a lighting link, that act is conspiracy.

https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/371

If two or more persons conspire either to commit any offense against the United States, or to defraud the United States, or any agency thereof in any manner or for any purpose, and one or more of such persons do any act to effect the object of the conspiracy, each shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than five years, or both.

If, however, the offense, the commission of which is the object of the conspiracy, is a misdemeanor only, the punishment for such conspiracy shall not exceed the maximum punishment provided for such misdemeanor.


Um, I think it's you who might be on the wrong side of 'conspiracy' here. If we're talking about the law anyway.

Because if this is consipracy, so is a whole lot of other stuff that we quite plainly know isn't.

Perhaps you are misunderstanding.

Nobody sold anyone else a completed lightning link, or even a partially completed one. What was being sold was the outline of a lightning link on a piece of metal. A schematic of a "mAcHiNe gUn" doesn't magically become a machine gun because it's printed on metal.

For what it's worth, he didn't manufacture them. Someone else did who he partnered with.

I can make videos on how to commit all kinds of crimes, doesn't make ME a criminal.

For example, if I do a video on how to pick locks, and I sell a lockpicking kit, the feds can't charge me with burglary. I didn't commit a crime, even if I gave very clear instructions and even supplied the tools to do so.



Again, its the fact he owns a company that has an FFL+SOT that is an issue. The fact he didn't manufacture them is worse and proves further his conspiracy charge. He is an SOT holder that knows what a lighting link is, see youtube video evidence. He paid someone else to make the item because he knows as an FFL+SOT holder he legally can't manufacture them without proper documentation. He then sells the items and provides instructions on how to convert the item into an illegal NFA item.

Furthermore, picking locks is not regulated by the National Firearms act. If you manufactured explosives c4 for instance, and sold each part needed to manufacture an C4 on a website. Then made a videos for youtube on how to mix the parts to create a regulated explosive, you too would be charged.

So the documents state that one of the guys Matt Hoover owned a store called Coloma Resale. Coloma Resale was an FFL and held a SOT license.

He made a video "Is this An ATF Trap And How Does It Work" which described how to order an auto key card and described how to cut the lighting link from the auto key card and install it into an AR-15 style rifle, thus converting the AR-15 style rifle into a machine gun.

Ok, there are numerous videos where he is talking about how to make illegal machine guns, untraceable guns, and his auto key cards. All while he is holding an SOT license. If you haven't read the charging documents, they have been following this guy for awhile. The fact he held an SOT is likely the catalyst to this shit. I don't agree with the "cards are machine guns" but if you hold an FFL+SOT you don't do shit like this.

Nothing he sold was a machine gun, or could even be remotely considered a damned machine gun.

I can only hope this shit gets to court.  Nothing like the AFT to drop shit to keep avoiding court.

And conspiracy is a pretty wide definition from this non-lawyer point of view.  Basically means you talked about something that the government considers to be an illegal act.
