ATF classifies Chore Boy pot scrubber pads NFA firearms

Reposted from old Examiner article retrieved via Internet Archive-- embedded links may not work.   David Codrea Gun Rights Examiner November 15, 2011 Chore Boy--the most trusted name in unregistered NFA firearms.  Credits:  David Codrea The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Firearms Technology Branch has deemed “Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, along with fiberglass insulation,” a firearm, subject to registration and a $200 transfer tax, an official letter obtained recently by  Gun Rights Examiner  reveals.  The response to an attorney inquiry by John R. Spencer, Chief, Firearms Technology Branch, offers one of the more creatively restrictive assessments since  ATF declared a shoestring to be a machinegun . The rationale Spencer uses: A silencer is a firearm per U.S. Code, subject to National Firearms Act registration and transfer tax requirements. “[S]ound/gas absorbing materials manufactured from Chore Boy copper cleaning pads, alon...

Image
 Reposted from  July 17, 2018 This is what they want for everyone who supports Trump’s pledged agenda. And these are the same people that support citizen disarmament. (Twitter/Facebook) “An art gallery in Portland, Oregon, has been criticized for displaying a piece of artwork on the window that depicts President Donald Trump’s throat being cut with a knife with the words ‘F**k Trump’ inscribed underneath,”  Newsweek reported Tuesday . “The One Grand Gallery located at 1000 E Burnside Street in Portland, Oregon has a decal of Trump being slashed in the throat with a knife on its window. The photo of the artwork surfaced on Twitter on Tuesday, with many people slamming the gallery for posting the violent image.” The piece has since been taken down by “a man who identified himself as the One Grand Gallery’s founder, who refused to give his name and hid his face,”  Fox 12 Oregon reports . “[P]eople that are responding, are responding with such anger and violence,” the co...

  March 2, 2018 Too young at the time of his legendary heroics to be trusted with a rifle? (U. S. Army publicity photo) The latest citizen disarmament plot currently being hatched will raise the minimum age for rifle purchases to 21. While some are specifically calling out semi-automatic rifles, others want it all. Such plans are  gaining traction at the state and federal level by no shortage of Democrat opportunists and “bipartisan” Republican panderers, including  Sen. Marco Rubio  and  President Donald Trump . An interesting article over at Firearms News notes  Audie Murphy would have been deemed “too young”  to be trusted with a rifle at the time his legendary heroics earned him recognition as the most decorated combat soldier of WWII.  It goes on to imagine a gun store clerk telling not just him, but “our young combat heroes, veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, who may have lost limbs and fought for our freedom, that they have no Second Amendme...
