Ares Armor and ATF hearing taken off calendar as more questions emerge

In related developments, legal sources advise Gun Rights Examiner that actions against EP Armory and Ares Armor were initiated in large part because of law enforcement interest in so-called “build parties,” including when such collaborative efforts would legally be considered “manufacturing firearms.” Concerns expressed by the California Department of Justice were also said to play an influential role in ATF’s decision to assert itself through the recent investigations and seizures. One source gave strong warning that owners of facilities where equipment and guidance are provided must exercise caution to keep things legal. Law enforcement agents have reportedly conducted stings resulting in prosecutable arrests merely by requesting assistance or feigning lack of operating skill to complete metal or polymer precursor receivers like the ones sold by Ares. Well-meaning proprietors and employees could then be caught up along with those knowingly and actively skirting the rules, it was emphasized.

Shut down the libraries and burn the books! You do not know what the people may do with that knowledge.

The NRA wants these build parties shut down.
The NRA WANTS GOVERNMENT CONTROL over the Second Amendment to continue (even if cementing state government authority is the best it can accomplish) because that cements it's own longevity in the status quo.

The NRA "helping" is NOT a plus for US. ITS JUST ANOTHER in a long train of abuses.....

I repeat -
FUCK THE NRA.

There is no question that the NRA will negotiate rights away every chance it gets. This situation is no different.

So we're in the process of criminalizing information. I see....so that whole freedom of speech and information is ALSO a thing of the past.

Let's see, atf had the choice of going after the guys who were violating the law (selling guns) but CHOSE to go after others instead. Yep, much easier to harass/intimidate corporate entities who apparently did NOT do anything wrong instead. Sorta reminds me of what was done to Gibson...............
