  • Why Was the ATF Seizing These Muzzle Brakes This Past Week? In this video, I discuss a recent warning notice from the ATF regarding three types of muzzle brakes manufactured by Lethal Eye (KBC Capital LLC). The ATF is classifying these devices as silencers and has given recipients 30 days to coordinate their abandonment. I'll explain the situation, reference the relevant legal cases, and provide guidance on what to do if you've received one of these letters. I'm not your lawyer, this is not legal advice.

    Mystery (partially) solved! TFBTV Discord user WidowKiss found one of the brakes on the list: the M-074. This appears like it might be an unshrouded baffle stack, which has already been deemed to be a silencer by BATFE and the Courts in the Sig Sauer case mentioned in this video. Pic in link.

    So if the muzzle device (brake) makes the sound louder at the shooter's ear...it is a suppressor. If the muzzle device (blast cone) makes the noise not as loud at the shooter's ear....it is a suppressor. If the muzzle device has no effect whatsoever on the noise level BUT "looks" like it could be used in making a suppressor....it is a suppressor. Basically, the ATF, can classify or re-classify ANYTHING as a suppressor or POTENTIAL suppressor or "suppressor component". Sounds like a rigged game to me.

      Indeed, adding length reduces muzzle pressure and sound intensity. By that abusive logic the gas tap on many rifles is a "suppressor".
      Going down that rabbit hole, "suppressors" are in common use for lawful purpose, with attendant court precedent.

      There is a Remington Arms video on youtube (it's a really good video too) from the 1960's showing them making their guns. Anyway, they show one of their designers at his home shooting range testing some rifles. He had about 10 large vehicle tires roped up and he would shoot through them to help reduce the sound so as to not disturb his neighbors. I wonder what the ATF would say about that today?

    So I got one of these letters. I don't recall ever getting a "break" or anything or even remember a site called lethal eye and none of my bank or credit card records says as much either, but I did get a thread adapter for 5/8x24 to 3/4 npt threads off ebay a while back for adapting to pipe threads to make my own krinkov style brake, and explained that to them. I met with my local ATF agents to surrender the device. They said all I had to do was surrender it or sign an affidavit saying I don't have one. Well they looked it over and said it wasn't the material they were looking for. Mine appeared to be steel to them and a steel thread adapter was not illegal. Only the aluminum ones. Can't make this up. They gave it back to me and I signed a letter stating I didn't have any of the items described and they said the case was closed. Really bizzare. They said I'd know if I had the ones they are looking for because they are not safe and made of pot metal or aluminum and would blow up under regular rifle pressures. If that's the case, then all these devices would be destroyed and they would not have to search for them? Even my local law enforcement friends are confused by the logic and enforcement of this on the federal level right now.

      “The Second Amendment declares that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed; but this means no more than that it shall not be infringed by Congress. This is one of the amendments that has no other effect than to restrict the powers of the national government, leaving the people to look for their protection against any violation by their fellow-citizens of the rights it recognizes to local legislation.”
      United States v. Cruikshank, 92 U.S. 542, 548 (1875) - US Supreme Court
      Shall the court not deviate from such a ruling?
      I am pro 2A, but Misquoting law doesn’t help the cause. If it did, you could take that quote to SCOTUS for all 50 states today. That case was in regard to religious liberty. You are better off quoting the founders opinions of 2A. That shows intent of the actual legislators.

      @@BertShackleford My friend, I just searched that case thoroughly. That quote is not in there. I think you may have quoted another source. Something similar to that quote was found in an appeal for certiorari to the US Supreme Court this year, but the Supreme Court never said those words.
      Almost every single time the word privilege appeared the word tax or taxation was in the same sentence.
      “Asking” or “turns” never even appears in the opinion or the dissent

    I think the Founders' intent was obviously "SHOULD not be infringed, unless someone in an unelected bureaucracy wants to...today."
