POLYMER80 Raided by ATF

[steelholder]

Everyone thinks they're low key by buying these.

ATF : Fine, we'll just take your sales records, thanks.

Fuggers.

Kamala proved that she could get a bunch of cops to confiscate guns and with a show of force, nobody fought back. Think about it, those were prohibited people who had committed crimes, often of violence. Many of them had nothing to lose and still handed over the guns, often a tool of thier trade, with no fight. What is a guy with a family who has never broken a law goimg to do?

Nobody is going to do anything but ***** and comply.

First, I've heard of this. I've got a few 80% builds myself. This is crap.

80% polymer builds in Ca almost impossible because of 3.7 ounce stainless plate. Metallic 80% ok if pistol must be single shot. Follow the procedures.

This article makes it sound like it was a District of Columbia legality issue.

I thankfully don't have a dog in this hunt, but is there any info ANYWHERE that points to this being legit. Regardless of what CA has to say about it, is there some:

- evidence that federally speaking, these 80% receivers, ain't truly 80%

or

- existing law that says that combining their sale with other components makes them non-80% somehow?

Take CA angle out of this, what if any federal laws might be being broken here?

Saw plenty for sale at Phoenix gun show last weekend.

Stuff like this should always be FTF and cash.

It does indeed. Nonetheless, calguns FUD always tastes so good.

The District of Columbia Office of the Attorney General alleged in their lawsuit that Polymer80 violated multiple aspects of the Consumer Protection Procedures Act, including the following:
* Falsely claiming its firearms are legal in the District: Polymer80 informs District consumers on its website that because their guns are not fully assembled, they are not considered firearms under federal law and can be legally sold, distributed, and possessed. The Polymer80 website’s homepage asks, “Is it legal?” and responds “YES!” However, Polymer80’s guns are considered firearms under District law. Though District consumers can easily purchase a Polymer80 firearm online, the company does not inform them that they are violating District law upon receipt of the firearm.
* Failing to disclose it is not licensed to sell firearms in the District: To legally sell firearms in the District, merchants must obtain a commercial license. Not only does Polymer80 not possess that license, it is prohibited from obtaining one because it sells assault weapons, specifically AR-15 and .308 semi-automatic rifles, which cannot be registered in the District.
* Selling firearms that violate numerous District gun safety laws: District law prohibits the sale or possession of semi-automatic rifles, but Polymer80 sells this type of weapon to District consumers. District law prohibits merchants from offering or selling firearms which lack a unique manufacturer’s number or serial number, or a unique dealer’s identification number, but all Polymer80 firearms lack that information. District law imposes mandatory 10-day waiting periods on firearm purchases, but Polymer80 also does not comply with this requirement. Additionally, District law prohibits any individual from possessing a firearm unless that person obtains a registration certificate, but Polymer80 does not inform consumers of that fact.
