FATF, but this guy nailed his own coffin shut when he said they could be put in rifles, then essentially admitted it’s not legal in the same sentence.
He SHOULD NOT be charged for shit. But your typical juror is a fucking idiot and his own comments are what got him burned. |

I think if you commit a violent crime that you should lose your gun rights.
I think if the government releases a violent person that then commits a violent crime, the people directly responsible for the release of that person should face criminal prosecution for reckless conduct while carrying out the public service of their offices. I don’t think that gun laws should exist. I think that they exist to excuse government malfeasance. I think stupid people support them and corrupt people who should never be trusted with authority promote them to shift blame from their own inability to govern from themselves to people that neither committed the crime or had any responsibility to dispose of criminals with public funds. The ATF is in every way possible a blight on society that exists to enforce a corrupt system of governance. |

Didn’t the atf say he could sell this only to turn around and prosecute him?

Quoted: The basic facts. 1.He sold an item. 2.The feds decide item is a no go. 3. The feds shake down his old lady giving him plenty of heads up they have him in the cross hairs for something. 4. Dude talks mad shit at .gov. 5.. The feds make an arrest over said item. 6. Dude keeps talking trash. 7. Dude got convicted. 8. Dude is facing 45 years. 9.Regardless of the legality of his actions he is fucked and will continue to be fucked. View Quote Here’s the truth: 1. ATF are a bunch of cock suckers 2. People who support them arresting someone for a drawing are cock suckers 3. Your rights are decided by court cases. The atf told this guy he could sell this. Now he’s facing 45 years. You think that’s right? They can just decide the file in your garage is a machine gun and have you sentenced for 45 years. Because of this man standing up for your rights you might not have to worry about that. Unfortunately if their lies and changing their mind on a whim get you 45 years you might as well stand in line to surrender your guns right now because you sure as shit are going to turn them in the moment you’re requested to anyway. I can’t believe such stupidity is even allowed on this website. |
