I haven't had time to hit any up in months but according to a buddy the one ones he saw even before all this were $600-800

I personally wasn't going to touch this without FTF cash and didn't put a bunch of effort into getting my hands on one since every single other place I've read about these things other than arf says they don't work worth a damn

No.  But I'm still happy I won't be hassled like the people who bought the FRT's.  They looked like a ton of fun, and the last thing I need is for the government to take away yet another thing I enjoyed (like the good old days of drones circa 2015).  So yeah.  I'm happy as fuck I didn't drop hundreds of dollars on something that was so obviously going to be banned.

Magazine fed semiautos have been legally bought and sold in the US ever since they were invented over a hundred years ago, so your comparison doesn't hold water.  They are in "common use".  The FRT is not.

Will they loose? Probably. Should they loose? Not in a country where judges interpret the law as written. The RB trigger requires a pull to fire each shot. It's still semiautomatic.

That's my loose opinion. It's a loose/loose situation.

I disagree with all of this. I think there's a solid chance they win. Probably not at the district level but maybe. One of their experts, Daniel O'Kelly is basically THE guy on this kind of shit. He's the guy whose testimony caused a dismissal in a case against a guy they had dead to rights because the split receiver on an AR-15 doesn't meet the legal definition of a firearm. They didn't appeal the dismissal because they didn't want to lose at the appellate level. And he's just one of four.

Then you have the 6th Cir. bump stock case percolating through. It will get re-hearing en banc and then go to the SCOTUS. Interestingly, that case turns on whether Chevron deference applies in criminal cases and the 3 judge panel ruled that it does not. One of they cases they cited on that point of law was written by a then 10th Circuit judge named Gorsuch, you might have heard of him. If that case wins, particularly on that point of law, it will be a huge victory, and not just for gun rights.

Finally, there are too many of these things out there, probably 10k+. They will try to scoop them up but I doubt they'll be prosecuting 10k people for possession. People will get "surrender or face consequences" letters and have to make a decision.

Getting tired of the constant, conflicting and arbitrary nature of AFT rule-making. The fact that their rules depend on who’s running the joint is indication that they are purely political.

The AFT-enforceable statutes are either codified as law and survived the legislative process, or they’re fly-by-night bullshit.

Some of the conservative justices have openly said they're fine with "some" restrictions. I don't see them siding with us when it's a device that essentially allows F/A fire via a new design. Of course they aren't going to get everyone that received one of these but they'll certainly make an example of a few just like the FATF always does hoping it hits the MSM and scares others into complying.

I hope they win but I wouldn't bet on it.

If these are considered to be illegal after the court battle a purchaser is out their $400.  

If they're ruled to be legal, the purchaser is out nothing.

If the rules are rewritten to change the definition of MG to make them illegal there is always the slim possibility they will allow NFA registration like they did DIAS and lightning links in the 80s.  A wise person would register it and keep it as a future investment.

A $15 DIAS sells for $15K these days if its registered.

Its a gamble, and at $400 not a very big one.

I'm not aware of any exception made for DIAS and lightning links. When they were deemed MG's, the registry was still open to manufacture as long as you got your tax stamp. So, you got the DIAS registered with your stamp, and not the actual AR15. Once the registry was closed, no more DIAS, Lightning links, Flemming sears, etc. were ever registered as fully transferable.

I'm interested to learn more about it, I don't remember hearing about any previous significant challenges to Chevron.

Obviously, the fact that Congress can write shoddy laws and rely on unelected bureaucrats to "interpret" them at the ground level is hugely problematic. For one it allows these agencies to pull things out of their asses every time a case comes up, so that there is no consistency and thus no rule of law. I don't think it needs to be explained why it is problematic that they can rule a single function of a trigger to be multiple functions of the trigger.

Another effect it has though is that it allows congress to create laws at the cyclic rate, without any deliberation as to whether or not it is necessary, legal, or productive. It contributes to the burdensome encumbrance of our needlessly complex legal code.

There is a 0% chance that the registry would be opened for these if the ATF wins in court, it would have the same "rules" applied as bumpstocks....surrender or destroy.

It appears that the company has done their homework and was prepared to go to court, so hopefully they go balls deep on the ATF.

Yeah, Gorsuch has a boner to eliminate Chevron. He also has a boner for interpreting law as it is written. I think based on past rulings, they have Gorsuch, Alito, Thomas, Kavanaugh and Barrett, at minimum, on board for gutting Chevron regarding criminal law. Kavanaugh called Chevron "an atextual invention by courts" and "a judicially orchestrated shift of power from Congress to the Executive Branch."

I don't think they'll overturn Chevron in one big bite, but it isn't a stretch to say it doesn't apply to criminal law. After all, how is a reasonable person expected to know what conduct is allowed and what isn't when it can change based on a fucking letter issued by an unelected bureaucrat.

After reading the full complaint I can't wait to see how this goes in court.  It absolutely looks like the company planned for this eventuality.

A Bumpstock is a machine gun. Get caught with it and it's like being caught with an off books machine gun- same penalty.

So yeah, you can say screw the law and keep it anyway, but they only have to get lucky once to catch you with it, and you have to be lucky every time not to get caught with it. "Not much comes from it", unless you are caught.

Well it isn't as though we can point to a mass uprising until it has actually happened.

However if you have been paying attention, we are clearly heading in that direction. Starting with the Bundy ranch clusterfucks. Then Lobby Day last year. Then the Kyle Rittenhouse incident.

And before you or someone else gets a doomer-boner over those:

* Lobby Day was the first time anything like it ever happened. That it had limited effect is not relavant, only that it moved the Overton window hard in a direction we wanted, and proved it was possible to do something we all thought was impossible.

* The traditional way for Kenosha to have gone is that the media got their narrative in place, and then most conservatives condemned Kyle for killing a bunch of black people, or at least ripped him a new one for how dare he be there. The opposite happened. (which is probably why the left freaked out about him so much; we didn't help them this time)

The fact of the matter is that this type of situation takes a loooooooooooooooong time to finally reach the active fighting against the government stage. We are moving in that direction on a mass scale but the move only started in the last couple decades, and the enemy seems focused on accelerating that process.

ETA: when I hear consistent reports of random non-political soccer moms who's attitude is "when will it happen?", you are most of the way there.

So if they wind up winning the classification could they go after people that bought and resold them also for transferring them?

Like all the other laws on the books, just get it passed and worry about enforcement later.
Once it is deemed illegal, time is on their side.

The vast majority of us have families, businesses, homes, property, etc..., so have more to lose than your run of the mill antifa/chicago thug.

Akins Accelerator inventor went to court............... and lost.
Good luck getting a reversal on the trigger.

When the BATF re-classified Street Sweepers , Maddi 80% rifles , etc. they ran them all down from sales or shipping records , the same as people making suppressors from flashlight or adapter parts.
If you had one mailed to you its a trail to your door. Cash and carry its out of sight but not worth the penalty of getting popped for an illegal MG charge for an add on trigger.


The fix would be to roll it back to 1986 and have the Form 1 option to make and register a new MG.

What conservatives consistently fail to understand is that this works right up until the point when people realize they will lose everything if they don't do something.

If some of you are going to chance your life/freedom with something that is declared illegal to own and the company has the sale record list when you bought the now contraband item your better off just buying an M16 lower parts kit instead and doing what a SOT would do with it.
Same with the fuel filter baffle kits and Wish Glock auto sears they are all contraband by themselves that will lead directly to a search warrant be smarter than your enemy.





Compliance is Freedom.

Problem is, just like hills to die on, we keep going backwards. Which is why we have a massive federal bureaucracy involved in almost every aspect of our lives, and the tens (hundreds?) of thousands of laws, rules, taxes, fees, licenses, mandates, etc...

So the ATF just imagined the word "continuous" into the law.

Yeah, I noticed that too. The C&D letter itself changes the language of the statute to make it apply to the FRT-15.

They will keep chipping away at our rights till nothing is left and you are legitimizing them by obeying/acknowledging that you are scared of them and playing their game of Simon says despite their long history of screwing over legal gun owners anyways along with the sham thieves in office.
It would be best for your own sake to get out of the way when things get worse in the coming months.

Tell that to the folks who immediately I was some kind of coward for not breaking the law.  You want to talk about being divisive?  Then don't ignore them.

I'm here to say this letter from the ATF sucks, but also that it was very, very predictable.  

If Rare Breed prevails in court, I'll buy one for every lower I have.  But prior to such a ruling, I wouldn't risk it.  I'm not "government job" rich so eight or twelve hundred dollars is a lot of money to me.


But don't go accusing ME of being divisive when I get dog piled for pointing out the hypocrisy of other members accusing me of somehow being a coward for not being a felon.

We the People have been doing that since before we were born. We traded a tyrant across the ocean, for thousands of tyrants here on our soil.

Curious if you have a FOID card?

No. Freedom is not having to fight battles with a government you pay taxes to unless you actually hurt people or break stuff that doesn't belong to you.

That is the way it should be. The federal government should be all about protecting the freedom and liberty of the smallest minority-the individual.

Unfortunately, we have let them, and encouraged them to grow out of control.
