Leaked Email: The ATF Is Planning On Seizing Items Starting Tomorrow

The group Gun Owners of America exclusively came into possession of a leaked email from the ATF to their field agents.

The email gives agents instructions and permission to start seizing property it now deems illegal.

The targets are so-called “forced reset triggers” which have become popular add-ons for AR-15 style rifles.

For those who don’t know, a legal, semi-auto gun like an AR-15 has a trigger that must “reset” before it can be pulled again to fire another round. However, a forced reset trigger will force the trigger to reset if only light pressure is held on the trigger, thus allowing the second shot to be fired much faster.

The ATF has argued this constitutes a full-auto or machine gun. However, the definition of a legal semi-auto states that one trigger pull must only cause one bullet to fire, and all subsequent rounds require an additional trigger pull. So by this definition, the forced reset trigger is fully legal. It still requires the user to physically pull the trigger for each round.

A company called Rare Breed originally made the first forced reset trigger, and they have fought in court to not only keep their product legal, but avoid possible jail time or criminal penalties.

But now the ATF has had enough. Despite the forced reset triggers clearly falling under the ATF’s own legal definition of a legal semi-auto trigger, they are preparing to seize these triggers from sellers, manufactures, and wholesalers.

It’s very possible this is the start of how gun confiscation can work in America. The ATF has broad authority and can sidestep the legislation process. Not only that, as we see here, they can disregard their own rules and simply declare something illegal even though according to their own definitions, the product is legal.

估计 ATF 知道 FRT 卖给谁了.

从 RB 生产厂家 (manufactuer)  --> 到零售商 (vendors - gun shops) --> 销售 (shipment records) 记录 ---> 用户.

ATF可以Seize销售记录吗？我理解火器或者相关物品他们seize了（合不合法另说，算是归他们管范畴），但是商家的销售记录没有warrant他们有权利拿走吗？

如果有warrant他们是可以收缴相关记录的，但是敢卖这种东西的商家会故意留下销售记录来以后作为court evidence吗？我深表怀疑

对，我的意思是法官应该不会签Warrant，ATF想拿到Record至少是有难度的。

看看这条 -  ATF Just FedEx’d Warning Letters to Thousands of Silencer Part Consumers

This letter was, as far as we can tell, just sent to every person who ever bought something from Diversified Machine . . .

https://www.thetruthaboutguns.co ... cer-part-consumers/

The ATF seized the company’s customer records and waited a year almost to the day to contact the customers. The agents insist that customers turn over the items purchased from Diversified Machine or face possible prosecution. Violating the NFA could result in a ten-year prison sentence if convicted of the felony.

小作坊没能抗住压力，记录被抄或者妥协上交了。希望大dealer骨头硬一些，找律师刚一波。。。
