So this I just don't get. Supposedly the DC attorney general is suing polymer80 and has imposed and ordered them to pay a $4mil fine. The reason... for selling illegal firearms and making false claims. The false claim being that polymer80 has advertised that their products are NOT firearms and do not require serialization or an FFL to purchase. The AG has determined that to be false.
Did I miss something?
There is the new "ghost gun" Brandon rule, that hasn't even gone into affect yet, and.... the ATF's DOJ lawyer was just put on record, in a different law suit against the ATF's "ghost gun" rule, stating that 80% lowers are NOT firearms under the new rule and may be sold to consumers. The only illegal aspect is IF the lower is sold with a jig, drill bits or instructions included that would make that lower (by the rule definition) "readily made" into a working firearm.
Is this major backpeddling by the ATF in light of the spanking the EPA just got from SCOTUS for deciding to start making up laws all on their own? Will there be a dramatic change in the final "ghost gun" rule previously presented? Regardless.... the ATF is now on record saying 80%'s aren't firearms under the new rule.
So... from the ATF's own attorney, he's saying 80%'s AREN'T firearms, it's the stuff being sold together with them that is the problem... and on the other, DC's attorney general is fining Polymer80 for illegally selling firearms, falsely claiming they are legal.... while.... the ATF's overreaching "ghost gun" rule hasn't even gone into affect yet... which doesn't make 80%'s illegal, anyway....
I'm confused.
