For some reason the actual question I asked did not post, here it is.
Do you endorse reporting suspicious transactions (involving gun parts) to Federal agencies?

Maybe I have all of this entirely too well rationalized, but here it is: It was made in the US. Possession, of and by itself, is not unlawful. Advertisements and deliveries were made in interstate commerce. I'm sure that there is plenty of trouble to be gotten into by the unscrupulous, but that isn't me.
We all buy all kinds of imported goods, and we don't worry much about the federal paperwork. I bought a Walther P99, clearly marked "made in Germany". Is it here illegally? I hope not, but I bought it on a form 8710, and my conscious is clear.
As always, I'm with PhilOhio on this one. In a police state, are we all to be police? The answer to that one is "yes"; that's how a police state works.

I wonder if some of the more pessimistic founding fathers, with lots of bitter experience in the good old British days, were able to foresee the possibility of this sort of subversion of their intent. Or was this why they added the Second Amendment as a very thoughtful afterthought? |
