Does the name Randy Weaver, 1992 ring any bells? An ATF agent says 'please, please,Please cut the barrel on my shotgun for me! I don't have the tools, but I did make a mark right where I want you to cut it.'i don't recall hearing about anyone specifically prosecuted for a bumpstock, non registered sbr, or any of the other assinine rules the atf have issued.
hell...they don't even go after 4473 violators
They don't go after 4473 violators because they don't have anything the Gov't wants, and there's a cost to pursue it. As I understand it, they wanted Weaver to become their informant on others, so they got him to commit a NFA felony to apply pressure. It's never about the bump stock or the brace, it's about whether you've got something they want or not.
