New BATF guidelines on "engaging in the business"

Posted by David Hardy · 5 January 2016 11:35 AM

Right here. I don't see where they add much to anything, and in any event the first page reads "The guidance set forth herein has no regulatory effect and is not intended to create or confer any rights, privileges, or benefits in any matter, case, or proceeding, see United States v. Caceres, 440 U.S. 741 (1979)."

Translation: "if you comply with this booklet, and we arrest you anyway, the Department will disavow these instructions."

Incredible the amount of confusion an amateur can produce when they get over their head.

The Social Security thing shows the true colors of the Statists. Make the weak - helpless, make the needy - dependant. Evil has a name.

"we'll disavow . . . but you'll still be in hock to your attorney because we tried to prosecute you"

Fred, they WANT the confusion. They benefit from the confusion.

Well, they are just vile. They promulgate rules, but don't aide in abiding by them. Why? Because they want the rules broken. That way they can selectively prosecute anyone they choose. Cocksuckers.
