Confiscation of Delta Gun Sales
Delta514
Member Posts: 440 ✭✭✭
The ATF operating with their normal impudence and applying the tools of their trade, coercion, lies, inuendo, complicated rules and conflicting regulations. They came to Delta Gun Sales with a bad warrant, bearing the wrong address. Took all guns from the wall, counter, and safes, layed them in piles on the floor. If the guns were in boxes, they took them out, layed them in the floor also. After all was said and done, the Leader sent everyone out (including the other ATF agents) then proceeded to tell me how the game would be played. "If you don't protest, if you do not fight this in court, it will all go away. But! if you fight, we will get an indictment against you and if convicted you will become a felon."
All of this, after hindering me from getting a new FFL, and for 1 year from the date of first application, all of this after telling me over and over "It looks as if everything will go through soon". All of this, even after I requested that I would like to sell or transfer some inventory to another Dealer. The answer was: " No, not while the application is in progress." The ATF has just been put under the Justice Department, (which may have some control over their Gestapo Tatics). You would think by their actions; The ATF works directly for Sarah Brady and not for the American people.

Let me call to your attention a few things Sarah Brady has nothing to do with, on the Federal Scene.
-The Our Lady of Encroachment Act
-The US Gestapo Act
-The Incumbent Protection Act
-Just about any other Terrorism Bill, Act or such.
Now, who's working for who, now??? The Answer is simple. Sarah Brady is the unwitting puppet of the BATFags, and our Federal Government. So is Emperor Gray Davis, Philosopher king Andrew McKelvey, Fuhrer Tom Diaz, and all those other idiots from the Brady Campaign to Undermine American Values, The Violence Condonement Center, the Million Hypocrite March, and 99% of those idiots in Hollywood.
I am politically incorrect, and therefore, a political dissident. I know what happens to political dissidents in other countries, and I'm waiting to see what will happen to me.

I said "I thought it looked like DG "violated" laws that really don't exist. That really don't exist!!!! I'm on your side, sir. I never saw a BATFag I didn't have extreme contempt for, and you can quote that!!!

NOBODY said that. So what was the EXACT charge? Or did they just walk in the door and load up? I think I can see where this is going.

Weaver was there? Big deal. You still dodge the question. What were the charges if any filed? A search warrant? Let me know. I can get a copy of the documents. We can share.

It seems your purpose is not to tell the truth. I suspect BATF may be onto something but not sure what. If you tap danced with them like you do here they decided to cut your concert down into a ditty.
Now, what are the charges if any?
What exactly is the ATF saying that you did? What items were they looking for when they served the search warrant? You should have a copy of the search warrant listing what they were searching for.

It seems that the ATF was put onto you by someone that definitely has an agenda with you. I suggest that you get a good attorney and I wish you well. Also, I am very glad that I do not live in your town!
Recently, a local gun store was closed down here thatnks to the BATFags. I never met a BATFag I didn't truly despise.

Of course they violated NO laws. I'm sure the owner made that clear. The BATF was just bored that day. Even a broken clock is right twice a day, ONCE if military time.

Let's look at the situation in depth. A couple come in to the local gun store. The lady asks the store keeper to offer her a good selection for a defensive gun. She selects a .38 special. The check runs through fine, but then she turns up $50.00 short. The guy offers her money in the form of a credit card and everything is good, right???
Wrong. Although the shop keeper was under the impression that they were husband and wife (right down to rings), they were actually undercover BATFags trying to get the shop keeper to make a straw purchase. The store was set up. This same scenario, if anyone else tried to do it, could be a felony for even trying to do it, which is why he never suspected anyone to actually be stupid enough to try.
This kind of law enforcement, I, and everyone else out there, can do without, right Delta514???
Beware, the Homeland Oppression Act of 2002!!! It, like its predecessor, the USA Gestapo Act, is a travesty that will cause more harm than good. The catalyst, should it be passed is the Our Lady of Encroachment Act. Mark my words!!!

What movie was this in? I'd love a date, location and names. BATF doesn't have the manpower unless they have had a good solid lead the shop is up to some monkey business. And that is a BAD example..real bad.

TOTAL BS. You drink the wrong bars. Smuggling of tobacco products to avoid taxes is rampant and this includes sales from low tax states to states with HIGH taxes. Smuggling cigarettes from Canada in the U.S. has been a serious problem for a LONG time. Moonshine still exists and smuggling booze over our borders are still a problem. BATF also deals with explosive issues and collections of various excise taxes. With your total lack of the most BASIC knowledge of such things I don't think you should entertain the thoughts of running any business let alone one firearms related.
The Attorney General just had ATF put under the Justice Department. Hurrah for Ashcroft! ATF is alienating the nation with their scare tatics and roughshod ways. In the 50's we could purchase a gun from any hardware store. Now? Things are so much better, more rules, more regulations, more crime, less Constitutional Rights = Less Freedom. Thank you ATF for doing such a fine job of saving us from ourselves. Like a bayonet lug on an AR rifle will kill better, a clip containing more than 10 rounds is much more dangerous, an 18" barrel will kill much more efficently than a 20" barrel. ~It's all about CONTROL, isn't it?

BATF did NOT invent those laws just to pick on YOU. They were passed in congress and given to BATF to enforce. Maybe you could use a civics class as well to understand our government. I'm no fan of the BATF but it's a matter of having the RIGHT information and it appears yours is coming from a bad bartender. You have a new wife in your future named BUBBA.

As some gun owners have. Seems you forgot to read those regulations. Thousands of FFL have NO trouble going by the rules and regulations. The fact it's a stretch and a challenge for you says something. I'd refocus the anger if I were you also. Glass houses are cold this time of year.
...but we have nothing to worry about if we're not doing anything.
Guess again on that one. They can find something wrong. They always do.
Delta514, Lawyer or not, I think they've come to take you away, ha ha ho ho hee hee, but not to the funny farm. You better be prepared to fight. Most people don't realize this kind of thing can happen untill the BATFags bust down their door with machine guns and no search warrant.

No search warrant eh? You watch way to many movies. Obvious you have NO law enforcement experience.
That's why so few of them make the news. Proper procedure is not followed. Take your jackboots off at the door!!!!

Do your homework. Find THE case. You think he's a reliable source? If you want bad advice get it from a bartender or a cop. Find THEE case and check it out. IF you won't or can't I WILL...Get me the defendants name and jurisdiction. It's all public record. You knew that of course. Polish my jackboots. Your day job is in danger.
You've been a real help. I assume you have law enforcement experience, Darrell, but, if I may..... no wait, on second thought, why should any of us believe any of this. Find us some cases, and the bottom line is that could still very well be a bunch of Gestapo crap I'm not interested in hearing about. As for the Sheriff of the county, he is an elected official and answers more to the people than the Governor. I'll believe his word over yours... end of story.

So you believe ELECTED officials. OK got it. So call your "elected officials" and ask them about it. They would never lie to you. (sniker sniker).....
Sounds to me as if you are trying your hardest to twist everything around. Don't you have anything better to do???

if they don't want us to have guns for self defense, what do they want us to have?
He also believes the ATF is nothing more than a bunch of JBT's marching in lock step to orders that come from a malefactive government that wants us all disarmed. With as many governments that turned criminal in the 20th century and began murdering its own citizens, that is why he is NOT in favor of gun control, or the twisting of the 2nd Amendment crap that happens on a regular basis.

We are supposed to be these JBT's employer, and how do they repay us... by biting the hand that feeds them. If I owned a dog that did this, it would happen exactly one time before I put the SOB down.

He also said, "render unto Ceaser what is Ceaser's" as I recall.
ATF was formed to collect TAXES which is still a major part of it's business. They try to find tax cheats for booze and tobacco products. it's a BIG business. Also the 11% excise tax on firearms and ammunition. They didn't ask for but were GIVEN in 1972 the job of enforcing federal gun laws and changes in society have shown a need for that job as well. The vast majority of contact I have had with BATF over the years as a cop and a gun dealer have been cordial and without issues. But then again I don't run around shooting off my mouth about my "rights" or ask if I can help them polish their jack boots when they come in. I got a copy of the laws and FOLLOWED THEM. Not that difficult to do. You run around with a big mouth and shoot sparks out your butt you draw attention. I have little time for IRS but I stay out of the spotlight with them as well.
I don't send either Christmas cards, but I find the whiners and complainers always have a attitude problem that does indeed get SPECIAL attention. When my kids used to call when they got into trouble I always said..." You were at home and what happened?"
Render unto Caesar what is Caesar's, huh? God only asks for 10%. Why is it the feds take 40% then?? And taxing income?? That comes straight out of the Communist Manifesto. There was also no special tax on swords, the most sophisticated weapon at that time, either. Why is there a special tax on the most sophisticated weapon of our time??
There's a word for those who are not willing to stand their ground. I am not among them.

* * *.....My dad said you can * about things or FIX them. BATF has NOTHING to do with what you wrote. You need a basic civics class. Bet you check under your bed for monsters each night.
If you find BATF MAKING laws let me know. It will be a hell of a moment in American history and you will have discovered it. OBEY THE LAWS AND WORRY NOT OR CHANGE THEM.
