ATF Busts E-Bay Dumbass

[TresMonos]

Selling "muzzle breaks" or something.....

An affidavit filed by an agent from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says that See told investigators that he has been making the devices for more than a year, then selling them on eBay for $50 to $80 apiece.

Although See calls the devices “muzzle breaks”, the ATF classifies them as unregistered silencers, bearing no serial numbers.

Once again they decide what's legal and illegal after the arrest you!

Beware.

Is there a separate sleeve to purchase? How is this a silencer?

 

[poopdaddy]

complete BS. they make the rules when they want them. until its a silencer, its a muzzle brake.
you can say "intent" all you want, but this slippery slope has consequences . this same freedom they used to lock this guy up, intent can be used for anyone. what about have an AR pistol and rifle? what if they are broken apart in your safe, or even together. whats stopping them from saying you are going to make an SBR.
these guys need some control.

What about my 3-baffle brakes?

Will they arrest me too?

This is nuts.

nope, just a long muzzle break..
and just for the record, it is perfectly legal to buy parts for a suppressor. you just need to pay your freedom charge and put your number on it before you assemble it...

This just looks like a strange break to me without a sleeve

this is what im wondering! right now it just looks like it would be even louder when you shot that thing

That's a terrible design for a silencer.

If they want you and can't use the letter of the law, they'll make something up.
