Fake News Friday: BATFE prohibits Machinists from being near steel bars

 

The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives recently issued a ruling that prohibits machinists from entering buildings which also house steel bars. Similarly, machinists are prohibited from entering a spherical volume defined as being within 150 meters of a steel bar.

Extrapolating from rules that prohibit shooters from owning unregistered components that can be assembled into illegal suppressors, regulators pointed out that a competent machinist can quickly create a sub-gun, a ZPU-4 or even a GAU-8/A Avenger from simple, round bars of steel.

When challenged by the United States Chamber of Commerce, the BATFE dismissed their complaints by responding that businesses can purchase the completed parts cheaper from China, anyway. So why did they even need machinists?

  5. CV - the BATFE has already prosecuted people with the knowledge, plans, machines and materials to construct guns, but not done so. It is only going to get worse until the whole unconstitutional house of cards is destroyed.
