While I do look at this as a very important issue and firmly believe the ATF is overstepping there bounds. A case like this could very well help revers some of the ATFs prior violations of our rights as well as firmly cement there ability to violate the constitution. With all that said there is a much broader observation i would like to make here.
You cant and wont stop people in this country from owning firearms, not when the skill of the workforce can use there skills to make whatever they want. The people of this country are surly coming around when its common for someone to bend flats and make an AK , or drill some holes and make an AR, to top all that there are people whos income is selling the parts , flat pieces of metal, or 80% receivers.It also says allot about the general mindset of people in this country, how can we not see change is possible?
I refer back to the idea I have seen presented so many times that the government is broke beyond repair. I would agree that given the current state of mind of many sheep it is broke beyond quick single battle victory, but with change of mindset comes a change government. Sure this guy may only represent a small portion of America, but he represent enough to make a business out of it, im pretty sure that his consumers share his mindset and opinions. They may not be ready to jump up and fight to the death , but i dont need them to, I just need them to go out once every few years for one hour and vote.
