    Kitchen Scrubbing Pads to be Regulated by ATF? Read more: K

    Kitchen Scrubbing Pads to be Regulated by ATF?

    It sounds laughable, especially after Operation Fast and Furious, but according to a letter issued by John R Spencer, Chief of Firearms Technology Branch of the ATF, the copper scrubbing pad may be used as part of a gun silencer and as such falls under ATF jurisdiction.

    Someone had their attorney inquire about repairs they wanted to make to a registered silencer for a .22 caliber rifle. In the request for information from the ATF, the attorney wrote,

    “Does sound/gas absorbing materials manufactured from Chore Boy copper clean pads, along with fiberglass insulation, constitute a silencer part as defined in 18 U.S.C. 921(a)(24)?â€

    As a wholesale supplier to landscapers I am not unfamiliar with the same product being regulated two different ways. Opium Poppies may be sold as an ornamental without regulation. There have been articles in trade press regarding people sometimes in ethnic traditional cultural markets getting in serious trouble by selling the same product as a sedative and soporific tea. If the ethnic markets do that they are charged with a felony.

    Allllllrrriiightyyyyyy then. Damn that just messed up my diabolical plan.
    If ATF just figured that out they all grew up little girls playing with Barbie's.
    More noise is better, big flashes even better, but young boys figure out at a young age how to quiet and muffle things. BETTER REGULATE PILLOWS!
    We pay these IDIOTS TO PROTECT WHO???? MORONS
    You know how corrupt they are the more paranoid they get. Like foolish bully's. Always looking over their shoulder...BOO!!!

    That goes along with the article I just read in my local paper, that a man who has been making his living for 30 years selling a homemade concoction for purifying water when hiking, is having his living taken away because he can't get a permit to buy or sell the iodine he needs for his purification bottles unless he pays $1,200 regulatory fee and gets federal and state permits to keep track of who exactly was buyint it and report anyone suspecious. Evidently, meth labs use his Polar Pure.

    Hey, do you think they can regulate aging? I'd like my body to stop doing that please...

    I mean, they think they can regulate everything under the sun, why not this?

    I feel like Alice in crazy Wonderland!
