but owning one in the same vehicle/ residence as a flare gun gives you everything you need to ILLEGALLY MANUFACTURE a firearm, at least for BATFE prosecution puposes.
these things have no legitimate purpose. scheisters (and i use the word with all the ugliness my aunt nancy's rabbi can smear on the word) like these have NO PLACE among law abiding, responsible gun owners. the only reason their product is technically, minimally legal (maybe) is that they don't assemble anything they sell.
I think the fact that they are a law ENFORCEMENT agency, and not a LEGISLATIVE agency has been lost on you. It is up to them to enforce laws that are on the books. In reference to the "intent to manufacture an sbr" that law is on the books and was not created by the batfe, but simply enforced. If you are upset about the laws don't waste your energy whining about them, ot the people tasked with enforcing them, but get active...help to create the change in the law you want to see.I'm not saying they're always right (increasingly, i think they're left) but they're bigger than any one man they decide to pick on.
I have seen these. Be careful with this; it's a not-so-clever gimmick to get around NICS and the BATFE regs on creating a handgun.
look at the length on these things. do they look like they're designed to run the length of a shotgun barrel? people buy these to put in the chamber of 12 ga FLARE GUNS, the sort of thing you can buy at walmart. it'll work- once, maybe... but owning one in the same vehicle/ residence as a flare gun gives you everything you need to ILLEGALLY MANUFACTURE a firearm, at least for BATFE prosecution puposes. they may also cause the plastic launcher to explode in your hand. either way, it isn't good for you or your family.
