Rogue ATF Agents are Cracking Down on Legal Guns in Anticipation of Biden Administration

“Honest citizens should enjoy the right to assemble their own firearms for lawful purposes, and they should be able to do so without being terrorized by their government.” — GOA’s Erich Pratt, AmmoLand, December 11, 2020

On Thursday, federal agents raided the headquarters of Polymer80, one of the largest manufacturers of homemade firearm accessories.

For years, Polymer80 has been producing “80% complete” lower receivers which the ATF determined to be incomplete and non-regulatable by the ATF as firearms. These receivers require holes to be drilled and surfaces filed before they become an actual, usable receiver, hence the term 80% receiver.

You might have heard an anti-gunner refer to a completed homemade firearm as a “ghost gun” before.

According to the ATF in numerous letters to Polymer80, their 80% receivers did not require a manufacturers license, the unconstitutional Pittman-Robertson tax, a serial number, or a NICS check before purchase.

Anti-gunners have been advocating for a ban on homemade firearms for years, even recently appealing to the Trump Administration.

Once again, the ATF appears to be reversing its longstanding interpretive guidance and is arbitrarily redefining a crucial term to enact a gun ban.

A Dremel, but realistically; a drill press, a lathe is a nice-to-have, correct drills, 10" bastard and 1/4" round files, bench vise, and machine vise

To do what? A P80? A razor blade and a drill.

ATF has been going rogue for decades.

Honestly, the ATF should be disbanded and instead should be turned into a convenience store that sells nothing but Alcohol, Tobacco, and Firearms.

China cannot take of over if patriots have guns. All the anti-gun shit has the chicoms and commies behind it. ATF needs to get ripped apart, they are no longer useful, they are simply a waste of tax payer money.

Gun laws are meaningless with corrupt courts.

The P80 is a lot of fun to build.

and what’s that going to do? The Senate won’t confirm anyone now that they say Biden is President-Elect and They think Biden will just appoint someone else. You think the next in line will change things in less than a month?

Fire the current and appoint an acting director who fires everyone.

If Trump fires the "Wolves in Sheep's Clothing" now at least the Biden pick will be a weaker nominee. Trump should do that for head of the FBI and CIA to.

Only after ALL lawful avenues in the civil jucicial system have played out and FAILED can Trump lawfully invoke insurrection act and employ the EO on foreign interference in a US election. Had to let it all play out. Now we see ALL the traitors, Dems and Rinos, and after proving fraud, Jan 6th will upend the whole damn thing.

Fuck that. We're at scorched earth policy time. Arrest them all. Change their charter so they are any responsible for collecting taxes, period.

Cut out their ability to make policy or interpret law their own way. Take their guns, tactical gear and Law Enforcement mission away.

But give 'em something to do... so take away tobacco and vape shit from the FDA and cut both their budgets.
