Pays to know your rights and it shows what your government accepts as model behavior by its agents and how concerned they are about your rights. Watch the whole thing, chilling.
https://www.thetruthaboutguns.com/atf-agents-attempt-solvent-trap-confiscation-man-tells-them-to-get-a-warrant-video/https://youtu.be/JJpa6D7OnDsThe boys from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, Explosives and really big fires have grown increasingly busy in recent weeks. If they’re not running down legitimate gun owners while fishing for straw purchasers, then they’re trying to intimidate people into surrendering forced reset triggers. Now they’re hitting the pavement hectoring people about (formerly legal) solvent traps.
The fine folks over at Gun Owners of America have come across video from an ATF home visit documenting a couple of he Justice Department’s finest trying to get a gun owner to admit to owning or receiving a now-prohibited solvent trap. They also wanted him to surrender it.
On this day at this address, ATF-Troop ran into a gun owner who not only refused to admit to anything, but he told them to beat it and come back with a warrant. He also videotaped the encounter. Ouch.
ATF-Troop didn’t like his assertion of his rights.
Agent #2: “We’re not trying to be jerks here.”
Man: “You are though…”
Agent #2: “But we’re not.”
Man: “You’re the ATF.”
The man then told them that their job is to take away people’s guns. To which, Agent #2 says, “I don’t think you have any idea what our job is.”
Man: “I know everything about your job. All it is, is to erode the 2nd Amendment.”
Agent: “Please tell me…”
Man: “Shall not be infringed.”
Agent: “So, uh, violent, uh, criminals with guns that we take off the street – “
Man: “Oh, like at Waco?”
Ouch that one’s gonna leave a mark. But the man wasn’t done yet.
Man: “Or at Ruby Ridge?”
Agent: “Oh gosh.”
At this point, the agents dialed the snark up to 11, but eventually left empty-handed after making assorted veiled threats toward both the man and his dogs.
