ATF Prepares to target firearm manufacturers

Post by Bruenor »

Time for the alphabet boys to go on a fishing expedition against firearms manufacturers.

https://www.ammoland.com/2021/07/leak-s ... nd-others/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
A leaked email shows that The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives (ATF) is seeking volunteer Industry Operations Inspectors (IOIs) to serve on temporary detail to the Boston field office in Mid-October of this year.

The email was sent out across the ATF to get volunteers for the operation. The purpose of the detail is to carry out several large-scale inspections of gun manufactures and sub-contractors in the New England area. The action isn’t limited to any single firearms manufacture. It seems like the ATF is targeting the gun industry in New England as a whole. The ATF is not acting on any actionable information but will be looking for record-keeping and other compliance violations.

The last paragraph of the article is the money shot. EVERY single firearm manufacturer and related supplier needs to stand in solidarity and refuse to sell to or provide any service work to the federal government. Pity that Ronnie G. Barrett was/is the only one with the stones to do so.
