Notes From HPS

Adding to the FAA “mystery” is a helicopter photo from The Las Vegas Review Journal showing a helicopter at the scene with numbers that some speculate have been altered, and that do not appear on the FAA registry. Combined with documentation of FBI helicopters being masked by private entity front group registrations, the situation cries for further oversight and scrutiny, including close monitoring of all aerial operations.
Oh, there’s a whole lot of things about this that bear more scrutiny. You can bet that the main stream media will get right on it.
For now, though, what they have fixated on is EP Armory’s manufacturing process. Specifically, they seem to be under the impression (or are at least claiming to be under the impression) that EP Armory first casts the frame of the receiver–the part that the builder will keep, and which becomes the lower receiver of the firearm, and then adds the differently colored plastic in the cavity of the receiver, and plugging the holes that will then have to be drilled out for the pins used in assembling the gun.
If this were true, then technically speaking, the receiver would have been a complete receiver for a brief time, and by law, once a receiver is completed, it cannot, legally speaking, ever revert back to “80%” status. It is, from then on, a firearm in the eyes of the law.
The problem for the BATFE is that the receivers are apparently not made that way.
Read Kurt’s entire piece. I’ve read the articles before on this, and perhaps I’m a slow learner (and of course I just don’t have the time to do the research I would like). But this is the first time I think I have really understood what this whole issue is about.
Mike Vanderboegh has some excellent pictures of the Bundy ranch standoff here and here.
Here is an example of how police are as dangerous as criminal gangs who might invade your home. In fact, speaking of criminal gangs, I sent this to my family and said, “If a gang ever invades your home and you call the police, then you have two gangs warring inside your home. Some innocent victim is likely to get killed.”
