Larry "Don't you know who I am, F*** Ruger" Vickers

 

[Ducati_Meister]

From what I've read, it sounds like people were abusing the "law letter" machine guns FFLs can get as a SOT for LE demos etc.

 

[billdeserthills]

Gonna be rough for Larry--gov't already sounds poised to steal all his gun stuff

What a pleasant sounding man.

No sir, I have no idea who you are and I don't care. You have the personality of morning breath.

Jesus that guy likes himself

Well...laws are for peasants not govt folks..Vickers fat head forgot he's not a govt guy anymore so when he violated laws it makes him a criminal.. not eligible for promotion. He blacked the eye of all FFL's an screwed up Alot of the postie stuff for everyone.

So where is the historical precedent that full-auto guns should be barred from civilian ownership?

All gun laws are unconstitutional.

Guy should challenge the whole thing. If he's going to burn, might as well try to burn it all with him.

Last I heard, he rolled over and showed them his soft underbelly and took the plea deal.

 

[Nosferatu]

Don't feel sorry for him.

Had the displeasure of meeting him once at SHOT. Conceited prick doesn't begin to describe his demeanor. He's better than everyone and doesn't mind telling us all.

I always steered clear of any products associated with him after that.

YEP!
...and he totally played several LEO's whom thought they were his friend, 100% using them to make a tidy side hustle for himself and probably thought if it ever went down, they alone would take the fall.
His lil, poorly thought out scheme, just took out a number of people, not just himself. Those are not the actions of an honorable man, or soldier!
They aren't "taking" his firearms collection, he is willingly turning it all over, including Non-NFA's as part of his pea deal, to avoid spending the rest of his existence in prison. Its done alot actually.
His prior service aside (some of which has long ago come into question), he is no hero. He is a 1st class a-hole at every level. Its guys like him that give the anti-gun crowd even more reason to target & degrade what is left of our 2A rights.

Again I tend to just think everything I read anymore is just crap made up but, if this is even close to what he was doing? Its one of those WTF were you thinking kind of deals. To think this would just not be noticed by the feds?

A lot (but not all) of SOF guys get big heads… it's kinda like how Hollywood stars buy into their own hype, but my favorites were the 71L (that's an office puke) five jump chumps in the 82nd ABN walking around with their chests puffed out…. LOL

I see this as a WSJ fluff hit piece. They have a fair number of staff lately who are going full libtard.
Notice the comments are not enabled following the article.
When there are political or gun related articles with comments, there are a dozen or so trolls like Butt Monkey.

FFLs are not all 2A friendly.


"Investigators at the ATF grew suspicious when a dealer in Florida reported that a gun it had purchased from Fiorentino appeared to be a highly regulated short-barreled rifle. They discovered that Mr_Big_Koch was selling a lot of guns and didn't have a dealer's license, prosecutors allege."


Neither are all members here.

"All gun laws are unconstitutional."

Instead of acknowledging that, members here pile on the guy as if they are ATF fanbois. It is no surprise why we have all the antigun laws we do and why there will be more.

Put 12 of me on his jury and he walks free.

Then there's the "pro-2A" grifters like WLP (and several prominent YouTubers) that make sizable fortunes in "membership donations" because of the "conflict" and then can afford their NFA items on their private ranges on their private ranches.

All while not really doing a damned thing but making money…. kinda like the military/pharmaceutical industrial complex scheme.

Do not worship "hero's", they never fail to disappoint.
