ATF classifies Chore Boy pot scrubber pads NFA firearms

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Firearms Technology Branch has deemed “Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, along with fiberglass insulation,” a firearm, subject to registration and a $200 transfer tax, an official letter obtained recently by Gun Rights Examiner reveals. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner report shows how, with the proper materials and a bit of elbow grease, hard-to-eradicate rights can be scrubbed right out!

Gun Rights Examiner earns Sunday headlines in Arizona Republic and WorldNetDaily

“Project Gunwalker” was front page headline news in today’s edition of The Arizona Republic...In another development, WorldNetDaily, the very highly-trafficked news website, is featuring a report on Gun Rights Examiners Chore Boy/silencer story as its main headline this morning. [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column does a little crowing. Maybe that's why I've got laryngitis, and Mark Walters will need to do tonight's Gunwalker update on Armed American Radio without me.

Only the Beginning, Only Just the Start

Two million legal silencers are merely the start. [More]

Yeah-- I wonder how many know they could get in trouble if they also own a "stockpile" of Chore Boy...?

Set a retarded monster loose and there's no telling what kind of insane destruction it will cause.

And remember: With the proper materials and a bit of elbow grease, hard-to-eradicate rights can be scrubbed right out! 

You Can't 'Block' the Signal?

So what does this have to do with plastic bricks? Easy. If you don't have a $500 Chinese mill & a $100 hunk of aluminum, or a $550 3-D plastic printer, it's off to the gun dealer with you, right? Maybe. Or maybe you can dig into your kids' toy box, sit at your kitchen table, and build an AR lower out of the plastic building bricks you already have in your house. So - we offer you a sixth choice in the route to owning an AR. You don't need a $500 piece of equipment to make aluminum chips or plastic shapes, and you don't have to walk down to your gun shop. You need some ABS glue, some time, and a lot of plastic bricks and patience. [More]

Between that and all that Chore Boy lyin' around...

Open Letter to Roberta Wagner and Latasha Robinson of the FDA

Because of these intended uses, your walnut products are drugs within the meaning of section 201 (g)(1)(B) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(g)(B)]. Your walnut products are also new drugs under section 201(p) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 321(p)] because they are not generally recognized as safe and effective for the above referenced conditions. Therefore, under section 505(a) of the Act [21 U.S.C. § 355(a)], they may not be legally marketed with the above claims in the United States without an approved new drug application. Additionally, your walnut products are offered for conditions that are not amenable to self-diagnosis and treatment by individuals who are not medical practitioners; therefore, adequate directions for use cannot be written so that a layperson can use these drugs safely for their intended purposes. Thus, your walnut products are also misbranded under section 502(f)(1) of the Act, in that the labeling for these drugs fails to bear adequate directions for use [21 U.S.C. § 352(f)(1)]. [More]

Dear Parasites,

I guess if stupid unelected bureaucrats can declare Chore Boy scrubber pads are firearms under the right set of conditions,  you two "just following orders" Ilsa wannabes can classify walnuts as drugs and make threats backed by force of state arms.  Way to go securing the blessings of Liberty there, gals--but why bring up the Constitution? It's not like it has any bearing on your activities.

This is public notice that I am in possession of illicit walnut drugs and am administering them without any license to my family and advising them that eating them is good and healthy for them.  In other words, that is, in your words, I am "a layperson us[ing] these drugs," obviously, if you are to be believed, unsafely "for their intended purposes."

Something must be done!


Be advised I am defying you and will continue to do so until you send someone to stop me--before I do it again!  Also be advised that I will not go willingly, so bring a lunch (and make sure you include plenty of delicious, healthy walnuts!).

Jeez, next thing you know, petty government tyrant wannabes will be telling us water doesn't hydrate or some such foolishness, like we're Europe or something.

Some growers in CA pronounce almonds "ammonds" because, to get them out of the tree you have to knock the "l" out of them--prompting a friend to ask if we should call walnuts "whaaanuts" ("a" as in "and").

Whaanuts.  Sounds like you two

In all sincerity,

David Codrea

Moments in Great Disappointment

I know, right?  I've had a box of Chore Boy pads since 2011 and zero, zip, nada...

Wipe Out

Historically, the ATF has viewed wipes made of rubber or other disposable materials not to be silencer parts, making them replaceable by the end user. [More]

And God forbid they have any Chore Boy pads under the sink...
