Sure sometimes they can be heavy handed, but wtf, we dropped a 500lbs JDAM on a mortar team in Tal Afar because it was the safest way to eliminate that threat. was that a bit heavy handed? Shit yeah it was....but it was fun and it kept my fellow Tomahawks from getting shot by a city full of iranian scum.

Umm...last time I checked the U.S. government is not at war with its citizens. So thank you for your service but your erroneous analogies make me want to laugh until I puke. Also, people and institutions screw up all the time, including the U.S. government and its employees. Having a stars and stripes patch on your arm does not magically make everything you do just and righteous.

Not on this forum . . .
But to humor you this is what I said,
ATF said "With minimal work it could be converted to a machine gun," Which is total B.S. Even if you were able to get the custom parts made to fit in the gun, the gun would blow up in your face, due to the pressures and firing an actual bullet. Plus youre buying a $600-800 gun then completely ruining it to try and make it shoot real bullets. Not to mention the price of the custom parts would be very expensive when you could just buy a bushmaster for $1000.

[quote]CORNELIUS, Ore. - A local business owner is flabbergasted after a shipment of 30 toy guns for his store was confiscated by ATF agents in Tacoma.

Brad Martin and his son, Ben, sell the Airsoft BB guns from their store in Cornelius where they’ve been in business for seven years.

The Martins said they buy their stock from Taiwan because the merchandise is less expensive. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives seized a shipment of 30 in October. That shipment is worth around $12,000 and the ATF is promising to destroy the entire shipment.

Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw said the toys can be easily retro-fitted into dangerous weapons.

"With minimal work it could be converted to a machine gun," Crenshaw said.

Brad Martin is furious about the loss of money, for sure, but also in what he now thinks as a loss of his time and the use of government agents to seize toy guns.

"All this manpower, all this time, all this taxpayer money, [it is] wasting my time and my profitability,â€
