Airsoft Insanity. ATF, having plunged its left arm in a pot of boiling oil over pistol grip shotguns, sticks its right in over Airsoft "machine guns." [More]Sipsey Street Irregulars brings us this latest in an ongoing saga.
Question: Why can't the original page be found? What's with a cached version only? Perhaps it's just an innocuous glitch, but where BATFU is concerned, I make no assumptions.
Regulars will recall we've been following this story for some time:
Why is ATF seizing toy guns?
Why is ATF ducking questions about 'toy gun' seizure?
Why do ATF employees question fitness of agent in 'toy gun' seizure?
Fox News: Airsoft can be converted to real guns. Will that make toy owners felons? As a follow-up to that question, I asked:
If, in fact, these toy guns pose a legal and real danger, is everyone in possession of such a lower receiver now in possession of an illegal firearm?UPDATE: Mike doesn't think the cache business is necessarily innocuous either.
Will there be a recall? Will BATFE issue a circular to manufacturers, wholesalers, retailers...and local law enforcement?
Importantly, will anyone who has one now be in danger of being classified a felon if it can be proven they know about this, making their possession or transfer of their airsoft gun "willful," and thus subject to criminal prosecution?
Do we now have a new crop of criminals? Hundreds or thousands of them? How could that not be the case?
