Where to start.........
To the ATF (with all due respect): I hereby exercise my first amendment right to freedom of speech: In my opinion the right to build our own firearm emanates from the 2nd Amendment. Neither the Second Amendment nor the right to freedom of association comes from some permission from your organization. We realize that you are scared to death that this "80%" thing has become so popular that your organization is fighting for it's own relevance. Again, with all due respect, tough ****. With the democratization of manufacturing, where more and more people are able to "manufacture" or complete more complex things like firearms themselves through the widespread availability of computer aided technology like "CNC's" and 3D printers, your "control" organization and other regulatory agencies like yours are going to become obsolete......despite your best draconian efforts. The people have spoken.
To be sure you have force on your side.....but be advised , it is transitory. This is the US and we don't have Secret Police. These "Cease and Desist" actions where you claim that your demands not be published are a violation of the 1st Amendment. If you have a legal opinion you are required to publish it BEFORE you attempt to deny people their Constitutional and civil rights. Nowhere in the regulations mentioning self building a firearm does it say what level of tools can or cannot be used, nor does it define some special location where this right can be exercised. Your unpublished "opinion" does not qualify as law.
Just like recording industry technology has come full circle and is now in the hands of the people, so too will the ability to manufacture everything from custom toilets that defy so-called "Low flush Congress toilets" to firearms to practically anything else that people want. And these will be "manufacturable" in their own homes and will be traded amongst the worlds population without government ability to control them. Get used to it.
The belief that you share with almost all other government organizations ....that so-called liberal democracies run by cleptocrats, control freaks and their fascist business comrades are the final evolution of governance on this planet is GROSSLY inaccurate.
The loss of control over firearms is a drop in the bucket compared to all the tax revenue that every branch of leeching government is going to lose when half of the items that people purchase will be "manufacturable" , transferable and customizable by them in the comfort of their own homes.
Finally, amongst all the other arguments listed on this thread against your acts of actual tyranny, you stand to lose solely on the grounds that you are DISENFRANCHISING THE POOR . By inferring that only a person who currently has the expensive equipment or has the disposable income necessary to purchase said equipment can exercise their right is one of the most losable arguments we can imagine. It defy s common sense, common law, commercial law and completely lacks any flavor of American jurisprudence to date. In fact has not your President and his minions at your sister organization the DOJ sued several states for their attempt at so-called "voter ID" laws.....primarily arguing that these laws "DISENFRANCHISE THE POOR"!?
Your time is coming to an end. It is truly inevitable.
PS To all those saying that so-called "build parties" (and I agree that for uncomfortable but all too real political reasons they shouldn't be called "parties") done by businesses are just some greedy money venture.....bah humbug. To my knowledge the US is still a somewhat free market. By the same hater logic Coca-Cola "takes advantage" (otherwise known as "capitalizing") on people not knowing how or not wanting to have to "build" the ingredients of their soft drink. So what? People want their product and some are hooked on it. Big deal.
