Another action in a long line of questionable actions.  Is there any restrictions on high cap Chore Boys?

First they came for the street sweepers, now they come for the pot scrubbers! When will it end?

And how much 0000 steel wool do you have laying around without a Form 1?

Are SOS pads double-plus bad because they can scrub evidence?

stay safe.

Yes.

I apparently also own fourteen illegal MGs, since I own seven pairs of shoes.  =(

Does paracord count as "intent to manufacture"?

I am totally screwed, as I have about 4 bags of heavy rubber bands currently in the kitchen.
I am immediately starting my personal defense fund.

Looks to me like they determined using the product in a specific way is not legal, not the product itself.  In that light the OP headline seems overtly, intentionally inflammatory.  Not the best way to represent an issue, or to win fence-sitters to the cause.

Firearms Technology Branch? Please tell me this is a branch where all they do is try to find ways to make everyday items into firearms so they can then outlaw them.  :laugh:

The point of this is to just make it illegal for you to have replacement consumable parts available for certain silencers. In the obsolete designs that use wire mesh for filler it gets destroyed quite quickly. Same thing for wipes, which for a time the ATF prohibited people from keeping spares on hand before changing their mind arbitrarily.

Since they took the phosphorus out of dishwasher detergent, that is pretty true. 

Had the dishwasher go out this week (when it rains, it pours) and have washed by hand and noticed the dishes noticeably shinier.

SWAT teams will soon be checking to see if your dishes are too shiny  :police:
