ATF seizes 30 toy guns. . . Claims these toy, plastic guns can be converted to machine guns. . . . .

What kind of dope are these clowns smoking???

A local business owner is flabbergasted after a shipment of  30 toy guns for his store was confiscated by ATF agents in Tacoma Washington.

Brad Martin and his son, Ben, sell the AirSoft BB guns from their store in Cornelius where they’ve been in business for seven years.
The Martins said they buy their stock from Taiwan because the merchandise is less expensive. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives seized a shipment of 30 in October. That shipment is worth around $12,000 and the ATF is promising to destroy the entire shipment.
Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw said the toys can be easily retro-fitted into dangerous weapons.

“With minimal work it could be converted to a machine gun,” ATFs Crenshaw said.

“To say these are readily convertible to machine guns is absolutely preposterous,” he said. “The round wouldn’t go into the firing chamber and even if the firing pin did strike the primer the gun would basically blow up in your face.”  Says Ben Martin.

I want to know just what they are putting in their coffee at the ATF.  If you have ever seen an AirSoft BB gun you would understand the complete stupification over this lame-brained move.  

It would have been one thing to say they found machine guns but to claim that a toy can be modified into a machine gun is outrageously stupid.   That is like saying I could convert an avocado to a machine gun or I can convert a kitten to a machine gun or maybe I can convert a pancake at the WaffleHouse to a machine gun.   Yeah,  Yeah,  that's it.   

I can't even convert my semi automatic Mini 30 to full auto and it is a real gun.    Not a plastic toy.    This bozo's needs to lay off the sauce and get down to the work of law enforcement.   Why don't they actually go after some criminals.   

Who ever pulled this bone headed move should be fired and then jailed.   

Enough!
