This is a placeholder for now because I have not had ads on this blog for years. In case I ever start up again, this will be the policy in effect:
The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don't think we're getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you're stupid, too. I have had a few ads on this site in the past and may do so again if I think it's worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn't buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don't mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now--you're not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer.
About "The Only Ones"
The purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it's also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they're involved in gun-related incidents.
Comment House Rules
Keep them on topic. No spam. No threats against anyone except me. Do not feed trolls--I'll take out the trash. Try to keep it clean. I'm the final arbiter. If you don't like the rules, start your own damn blog.
Link Policy
WarOnGuns reciprocates links with liberty-oriented sites promoting the right to keep and bear arms for all peaceable individuals. If you have linked to me and don't see your site below, it's probably just because I haven't noticed it yet. Shoot me an email via the "Contact Form" (see above in this sidebar) if you want to fix that.
As a general rule I remove links for blogs that have been inactive for over one year.
Now a while back I promised to show everyone how deep this rabbit hole is and let them see the whole story. As such I am releasing a number of witness accounts. Most have nothing to lose or gain from speaking up other than the fact they make themselves a target of the feds. These will be released one at a time over the next few days. Draw your own conclusions about who has been telling the truth through this, who has been full of BS, and who is out of control. Now with no further ado here is the beginning of the rest of the story from those who lived it.
This is all fine and dandy in our Second Amendment world. However in the government world this gun by what was giving as evidence to the federal judge is altogether different. The judge ruled that there was no possession of this firearm until it was giving to use without any quid pro quo to be used as a firearm for enjoyment. The real question is: When did the the firearm in question become a full auto? Clearly it wasn't during possession so when was it a MG?
I just had the sick little feeling that this whole nightmare will spell an end to peaceful events like Knob Creek. The BATFU's essential assertion is that no transfer is legal without the paperwork, and that allowing someone else to borrow a full auto weapon at the range constitutes a transfer.
We are all royally hosed by this, doubly so if we ever were allowed to shoot a full auto weapon.
This can work both ways! I guarantee that I can get any BATFE semiauto service pistol to double tap any time I want.
According to the Judges ruling and the bureaus own ridiculous FTB they are in possesion of an unregistered MG and should be procescuted to the full extent of the law.
Throw their sorry Asses in front of the same judge.

So did the Feds install another selector w/mods for full-auto and then lie about it?

He would let them go, anon. This wasn't about the law or justice.
