ATF being sued over approving legal machine guns

[Gunsite Grad]

Rome wasn't built in a day. This will be a long hard fought battle but we have to at least try to fight. The negativity posed by some of you here is pathetic. You guys need to stop trying to find reasons this won't make it and look at what this lawsuit will do. The FED often looses when cases are challenged in an actual court. Sig has taken the ATF to task over their MPX and the ATF claiming it is constructive intent. Explain to me how a set of tubes can be regulated by the ATF. It is not a firearm. It is a safety device. The ATF has taken an act and used it as it single greatest tool to restrict and deny gun owners from our God given rights.

After New Town I saw people here with so many Mon Labe signatures, chest thumping about how if the govt will have to fight if they want their guns. Yet whenever it comes time to put up or shut up these same ones are the first to bow out. Nobody here is asking you to take up guns, just open your wallets and help, or help try to get the word out to this. Make fliers and take it down to your local gun store see if they will let you put them by the registers at check out. Do something, get involved.

I did a poor job expressing myself on this. I support this lawsuit and will help fund it. My concern is others may not read all the information, see that 50k has been raised, and then choose not to contribute.

It is all good man. My comments were not really directed at you it was for everyone's benefit to get them thinking. It is easy to be negative about this but we have to try to stay positive and fight. I just used your comment to respond to a popular thought that will come up again I am sure.

To hell with that attitude...let's take our freedom back...

Aimless, I saw your signature panel and copied it, just couldn't figure out how to change colors. Thank you for keeping this thread alive. I am in til the end. I would like to see a sticky or something as well. I am new to this site so how do we go about getting one?

Just quote me like you are going to respond to me and in the quote you will see the code I used to turn it read.

As for the announcement sticky I asked for one already in the private help section. It has been viewed but I haven't gotten a reply yet.

Donation sent... The nice thing is there's a new approach being used in this challenge that wasn't available before, maybe we'll be successfull this time. (ATF said trusts are not persons for NFA items and they approved several form 1s for machine guns and then changed their minds)

 

[troutman]

Yea, the way I understand it, once they approve the form they can't come back later and say sorry we didn't mean to do that send the stamp back.

Conflict of interest?
No way he will win and kill that great source of income.

If that was the case, a lot of cases will never be brought to a conclusion. Trust me - trial lawyers want to win. Plus, if he wins this case he gets national exposure that cannot be bought and more cases than he can shake a stick at. If he loses, he gets his fee and a pat on the back for trying.
