"106. Although Cavalry Arms’ attorney acknowledged to ATF that Cavalry Arms had manufactured more than 6,000 receivers (classified as “firearms” by FTB and as defined as a“firearm” under the GCA) to avoid a recall, Cavalry Arms had reported to ATF in its required Annual Firearms Manufacturing and Exportation Reports that it had manufactured only 659 firearms since its inception in 2000."
I don't see how any of this had anything to do with Fast and Furious.
There was a whole "legal to do at this location/not legal to do at that location" issues that was central to that point.
Basically they were hoping for guns headed to Mexico. When they didn't find anything like that, they found a bunch of other shit.
There were some definite problems like sloppy record keeping. But there was nothing "willful" regarding serious crimes.
Again, the CA guy had a valid state ID that listed an AZ address. If anyone is guilty of anything it is the state of AZ for issuing a state ID to a non resident.
FFLs are not detectives. They rely on state IDs and NICS to tell them who is approved and non approved for weapons transfers. That the guy worked out an arrangement for local storage has nothing to do with anything.
Now IF the guy did NOT have a state ID and /or failed the NICS check and Cav Arms completed the transaction THEN you'd have a really big issue. But that is not what happened.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
