As reported in the May 2006 issue of America's First Freedom:
"The BATFE detained cars driven by gun buyers, confiscated legal arms and threatened attendees with "meaningless" letters like this one."
"BATFE's assistant director for Field Operations, Michael Bouchard, offered a very limited apology for a few of the Bureau's actions, admitting that "some techniques" used at the show were not "consistent with ATF's best practices."
The letter, hard to read at this resolution, states that as per Title 18 U.S.C. Section 924(a)(1)(A), a crime punishable for up to five (5) years, the firearm you purchased is being taken into ATF custody. The law has to do with illegally "dealing" in arms sales without a license. One needs an FFL (Federal Fireams License) to sell guns. The problem!: Those given the letter and having their arms taken away were legal! The BATF actually required these folks to drive to the Richmond, Virginia ATF office and explain to the officials there, why they legally purchased said firearm. Ladies and gents, if you don't believe that some in our government aren't "jack-booted thugs", then you are a mindless slave! I'm all for the good guys going after criminals and Terrorists - BUT NOT LAW-ABIDING CITIZENS! A few bad apples in the BATFE are really making them stink.
