Dear ATF:

Nice try.

[Jamisjockey]

Forward it to the BATFEIEIO.

I would say that you should start selling fake full auto permits, but too many people wouldn't understand.

FTFY. 

[Perd Hapley]

...you should start selling fake full auto permits...

Now THAT would be epic. 

[MillCreek]

Now THAT would be epic. 

I would carry it right next to my 'concealed weapons permit' gold badge.

[Monkeyleg]

Some good ideas. It would be fun to toy with him.

That's a pretty unusual rifle he's seeking. A single shot rifle, but with full auto capability.

Ask for bits of information one email at a time.

The Springfield M1A is a single shot?

http://www.proguns.com/springfieldarmory-supermatch.asp

Comes with a 10-round magazine, 20 rounders available. "Gas Gun technology" -- I'm thinking it's a semi-auto, not a single shot.


Ahhh ... never mind. You're quoting the "customer." Missed that the first couple of times through.

[AZRedhawk44]

Ayup, Batfeces fishing for an easy collar.

You know what?  You ain't done nothing wrong until you actually ship him one of these mythical Springfield Inc. full auto rifles that don't exist anyways.

Play this fish out.

Is it just Regular Unleaded 89 Octane? How many shots per gallon do you get?

Why would anyone want to buy a permit for only part of an auto?  A full auto is the only reasonable thing to purchase, unless you just need a few parts to fix the auto you already have.  There are folks who sell parts off of used autos - they are quite inexpensive.  Some places even allow you to bring your own tools and take the parts off yourself.

Perhaps Monkeyleg could consider branching out from his main line of shipping moccasins with every purchase to open an auto parts business?

stay safe.

[Monkeyleg]

vaskidmark, some states are pretty dumb. Here in AL, you need separate permits to buy and possess tires, water pumps and ball joints.

Just tell him he needs to buy multicple semi-autos to add up to one full auto.

And don't forget to offer him complimentary moccasins.

[Scout26]

Or I wonder if this is some idiot journalist trying to show how easy it is to buy full auto rifles over the interwebz.  Or maybe some one Bloomberg's morons trying to do the same....

Either way play this fish, one e-mail at a time.  Once you have them hooked, then notify local LE...

[brimic]

Maybe its an APS member trolling through email. We've pretty much established that none of us here could call him with something like that and not bust out laughing.

Shoulders & hips are illegal in Alabama?....

[dogmush]

I've been to AL. Hips are definatly not illegal. In fact they seem to upgrade to Kenworth sized joints in their late 20's.

Yep. The people in this state tend to be large. It's unusual to see a slim person.
