Ares Armor Shuts ATF Down

Ares Armor, a San Diego company that makes parts for guns legally made at home, refused to give ATF their customer list, so ATF decided to raid them and take it by force, plus $300,000.00 in inventory. But Ares was ready for them and had a restraining order to stop this raid. ATF was forced to leave. How did ATF figure to legally raid them? ATF “decided” (on its own) that plastic parts were illegal while identical parts made of metal were not. Congress and a law were not involved. It was simply a “decision” of the ATF that “made” those parts “illegal.” Obama’s “pen” in action. Upon being met with the court order, ATF tried intimidation, instead, threatening the owner with prosecution “if he was not satisfied.” In the end, ATF was forced to leave without obtaining either the customer list (which would have put all their customers in danger from their government’s violation of the law) or the $300,000.00 in inventory. I don't think they were satisfied. Actually, I think all they really wanted was that list, but the $300,000.00 inventory would have been a bonus they could have used to augment their budget. Sort of letting the victims pay for their victimization. (Town Hall)
