Dimensioned drawings for swift links, lightning links, and DIAS need to be proliferated everywhere.

Quoted: That's not really representing the situation, although the absurdity of it all is really on point. You can own jigs that make any of these class II parts, just don't have a part marked as if you intend to make it. NFA prosecutions in this case require a basis of intent to construct a regulated part. Owning tools to make them is not intent alone, but marking a part for completion is. Within the verbiage of the law, it does sound like intent to manufacture a regulated part. The absurdity of it all, if he had created a jig, basically a reverse cutout for a Lighting Link, he would have avoided this all. And he could have supplied the blank metal as a seperate item.

I have a 1980’s book with all the plans to make a sten gun . Are books banned now too ? It even has full size templates in it.

Everybody should be able to have the ability to fire full auto even though it's a complete waste for the vast majority of people. Unless you have access to vast supplies of ammo and are part of a fire and maneuver element or built up static defense.

Quoted: Around here the average Vette owner is a sixty something guy with grey chest hair sprouting from his Hawaiian shirt, doing 5 MPH under the speed limit, while shitbox cars whizz around him left and right. Just saying. View Quote Obviously my statement went right over your head. They should not arrest people for crimes they could commit vs crimes they have committed. My state it is illegal t hunt coyotes with a center fire on state land except during deer season because you could poach a deer. Even though you have a yore decoy and call squealing and you have a 5.56 loaded with ammo specific to varmits. But, you could poach a deer. How about arrest poachers. Same goes for this guy's product or sports car owners. No crime has been committed buy etching to card. Cut it out, yep you broke the law |

Quoted: The bit the arrow is pointing to is the part that interacts with a swift link / lightning link / auto sear to make an AR fire full auto: https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/260765/65218-4e8969be5d458964e06c60989c82f0e2_j-1865365.JPG View Quote Neither one of those BCAs will work with a lightning link. |

Does that thing work with a standard AR or do you also have to insert other M-16 parts for it to work. Asking for a friend.

I got to a light and he rolled up next to me and honked his horn. I put my passenger window down and he was blah blah blah YOU PASSED me on a curve! WE DONT DRIVE LIKE THAT IN BRIDGE VIEW" In his ghey condensending accent. I blankly stared at him and said, NO THANK YOU IM STRAIGHT. I AM NOT INTERESTED IN GHEY ORAL SEX FROM YOU. REALLY IM FLATTERED BUT JUST NOT IN TO THAT...and the dude had a kaniption as the light turned green and I rolled away |

So, if the ATF isn't offering an "amnesty" to those who purchased it....
They can't require or request the owners to contact them, can they? I mean 5th Amendment protection against self-incrimination..... US v Haynes similar? |

This guy had an Instagram page.
I posted a thread asking if anyone had heard of the "autokey card". |
|
I wonder if this is the guy who was selling what amounted to 80 percent lightning links several years back. Description sounds right.
IIRC they wanted a money order, made out to cash and they sent a piece of metal with lines scribed on it telling you where to bend. |

Quoted: This is total BS, but I also don’t get why the ATF has such a hard on against machine guns. Are they arresting people for having a tick mark on a barrel marking it under 16” and a hacksaw in their garage? It’s the exact same law. They act like turning an AR15 into an MG takes it from a benign target rifle to a nuclear weapon. It’s just silly at this point. View Quote Hell, a vent rib barrel has several marks, factory installed for cutting. Just cut at the rib support you like. |

I hope every agent and prosecutor involved develops the most painful, lingering, uncurable form of cancer possible.
I hope they all die a slow, horrible death. In perfect possession of their mental faculties so they can realize the extent of whats happening to them and appreciate every last second of the pain. |

Has traditionally been protected but the first amendment, as should these cards. View Quote Intent will always be a Grey area of the law. How intent is proved in a court will be the grand factor here. Whether its a digital file or physical blue prints, seems the same to me. The ATF has never gone after the analogs, so I don't see them going for the digital copies. Intent to manufacture a class II item doesn't have a standard. However, so far they have only gone after parts, since that is the primary component in the law. The law doesn't list "files" blue prints or tools(jigs). So if you're going to be charged I believe there must be a physical part present, and it can be shown you intend to make it class II. So.. this guy could have just sold fucking stickers with the cutouts for a LL... would have been legal. But instead he sold the actual part, and marked it for someone to complete. It would be incredibly hard to prove there was ANY other intent behind what he sold. |

Lets not tie ourselves up in knots trying to justify a bunch of bullshit that was never constitutional in the first place. |

The Occupational government is so frightened it doesn't want anyone to even have metal that "might" be turned into lightning links. They are scared.
|
|
I have three thumbs and even my non mechanical ass can easily fashion a lightning link from what is available online. It's all online. Heck, I bet I can fashion one with some wire ships and thin sheet metal.

Are we going to protest and blow up their phone lines or just sit and shake our heads?
|

Fuck the ATF.
Thats a news headline for scared Karens and dumbasses. |

View Quote Point is the law exists and the ATF has drawn a line with marking parts. It's not my justification, but if you want to fuck with the NFA good luck. |

I don't have time to read this, I have a meeting with Hunter to smoke crack and have sex with under ages. Suppose to discuss the vast opportunities in the Ukraine that have become even more profitable since Daddy bidden is a higher up official.

Quoted: Glad I didn't buy one of those things, hell I'd not even heard of them before now, but fuck the ATF with a rusty coat hanger. When will gun owners finally band together and say enough? We don't need to be violent, but we can put a stop to this bullshit. The left organizes and gathers to stop things they don't like, but we can't be bothered. Soon they will come for this site, and anything and everything you've ever said will be used against us all. View Quote The left can block off an ICE detention center, set things on fire, and threaten violence for weeks and nothing will happen. If we show up and protest the ATF with happy little signs and then clean up the park after ourselves we will be hunted down by all means available and labeled domestic terrorists. |

I think it was a bit more difficult than just "punching out"
|
|
Quoted: It's a metal business card size piece that is pre-cut so you punch out the needed piece and bend it then install it. He called them pen holders. Kinda like solvent traps. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/179550/E87A370E-D452-428E-BFE8-C79B99B2CFB8-1866070.png View Quote They look anneal-marked to me. "punch out the needed piece" Can you describe that step for me? In what way is it "punched out?" It looks alot like a fucking mess of bent shit waiting to happen if you try to punch that out with a hammer and punch over a hole. You could maybe "cut" it out with a cold chisel an a hammer using the lines as a guide. Which makes them alot more like information placed on a piece of metal than a part in and of itself. |
