POLYMER80 Raided by ATF

[NeilDown]

I'm suspecting with the severe shortage of new guns on the market, many people were just doing their own builds with the Polymer80 kits.

You only get law enforcement attention once you start getting big enough.

Apparently their customer data is stored in the cloud offsite and encrypted and ATF didnt get it?

SCOTUS will carry on with Kamala's wishes now that they just turned their back on Trump. To me, they are the swamp.

or courage...

I think it isn't lack of courage as much as it is life and family to lose (that they actually CARE about)

I wonder if they will go after 80 Percent Arms too and their GST-9?

You should see every website that has sold P80 kits. Nearly every one of them are sold out. The ones that remain are marked up to stupid levels where people with the cash will still buy.

I still don't see the panic generated from some here. The ATF is trying to stem a tide of 80% supply like the DEA trying to bust dealers instead of junkies.

how small you think! We are the a point when they actually try to make lists of their opposition and try to prosecute. Do you really think the family will be safe in the long run?

They didn't bone themselves. The ATF decided it wanted to invent new rules to go after them and likely their customers. It's all BS, but nothing new. It's about creating laws so confusing you can't follow them, so then they can go after you for not following the laws.

I agree with this gentleman....

It's just a starting point for these PO$ that want to abolish the 2nd amendment..

I'm just glad that I melted all of my 80% completed lowers down and sold them for scrap ...

Why would a company of this type want to keep sales and customer records?

Warranties? Frequent flier miles? Just saying...

^This. Lots of uninformed P80 buyers are going to get an expensive education on how the CA DOJ and ATF are not actually into stopping real crime.

Maybe it's just me, but preventing people who shouldn't own guns from owning guns seems like a decent idea. When you commit certain crimes, you give up certain rights, like voting, owning firearms, etc.

big mistake them selling a "complete kit" they should have learned from the guy who was letting people press the button he would have been fine but for he was selling people all the parts

i am tossed up on the polymer 80 glock clones watching the sonoma county police blotter they confiscate one every week and they always have a 30 rounder shoved inside

on one hand i am glad there are fewer "stolen" guns showing up and there is less heat on the hipoint on the other someone is making some serius money (or at least working for their meth)

[kurac]

I was just trying to read something on my facebook feed about the ATF going after end users who bought the stuff directly from them and the tab went blank, very strange, now I can't find it.
