Here is some updated video of the ATF raid on Ares Armor earlier today (see our earlier story here). ATF took this action after Ares had obtained a restraining order against the agency. At issue is the bureau’s desire to confiscate a huge customer list maintained by the business, as well as some firearm parts. The parts had previously been determined by the ATF to not constitute a firearm.
was requested by Ares Armor to forestall a raid by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in which inventory and customer records were targeted for seizure. That ATF action was in response to the company selling so-called “80 percent lower receivers” manufactured by EP Armory, itself the subject of a raid and seizures over parts which have previously been determined by ATF not to be a firearm, as further machining operations must be taken by customers to turn them into functional components.
As explained by St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner Kurt Hofmann, “EP Armory’s polymer 80% lower receivers have a unique feature in that the material to be removed by milling and/or drilling is a different color from the material that is to be left untouched — thus making it easy to do the machining, even without a jig.”

“I look for ATF Firearms Technology Branch ‘hocus-pocus’ to come to the forefront … because they will claim the ‘marking’ of these critical holes will ‘make’ this plastic chunk a firearm,” an industry source told Gun Rights Examiner. “It’s FTB’s nature to do so.
“Now that this has gone viral, the ATF and U.S. Attorney have no choice but to go forward with a criminal case come hell or high water,” the source continued, also predicting “other manufacturers will get a spontaneous revision letter effectively changing the rules.

Bull $#%&!@* fight back people come on fight for your rights as an american. It is your right to kill any one who try and take them away foreign or domestic
And so it begins….
Too bad they didn’t get shot on the raid.
everybody seems to be walking a fine line, you say potato I say potato. With more talk there is less misunderstandings.
We are too complacent, nobody us doing anything about it. They have stole our freedom away from us and nobody has done a thing about it. They have been lawless and beat us for using our rights and nobody did anything about it. So you see as long as we sit here on Facebook and allow this to happen it will just keep happening. We are done. We allowed the torch of freedom to burn out on our watch. The only thing we have left is the second amendment and they will slowly kill us one by one and no one will do anything to stop it. It’s happening right now! What are you doing to stop it? Posting on Facebook? It isn’t doing any good.
They are scared we have the same guns as them. This is the peoples country. These guys are nothing but bullies with badges
our rights thrown out the door
I support standing up and sticking/defending our constitutional rights.. I don’t however support you trying to create racial tension etc.. “Take a good look at the cop standing on the sidewalk watching all this going on. I wonder if he had a GREEN card?”.. Really wtf is that $#%&!@*?
Criminals with badges, sorry excuse for life form
