Leaping with gay abandon over the shark ... again

[unixronin]

The BATFE needs to be defunded, now.  In its latest derangement, it has decided that a shipment of Airsoft toy guns could be converted "with minimal work" to machineguns, and confiscated them for destruction.  The store owner quite reasonably points out that even if you were able to successfully modify them to chamber live rounds of actual ammunition and get the firing pin to strike the primer, the result would blow up in your face.  (On the bright side, at least this time BATFE didn't incinerate anyone, and hasn't yet killed anyone. One wonders whether "minimal work" includes fabricating a complete new barrel and bolt from scratch in their machine shops.  They've done comparable things before.)

I've said it before, and I'll say it again.  BATFE is out of control and needs to be disbanded, and its agents prohibited from securing further employment in law enforcement.

Agreed. In full, with no conditions attached.
