Re: Cav Arms Raided by ATF

Being friends with the folks at CavArms, allow me to share the few details that I have been told:

1. All the inventory, computers, paperwork, and office materials were taken by the ATF.
2. They are still able to operate, manufacture, but this is difficult considering the lack of computers, paperwork, and office materials.
3. According to the warrant, there were "federal firearm law violations" and the agents were instructed to "Seize everything" (written on search warrant).
4. Despite this ATF intervention, they are still open for business and have obligations not only to their employees, but their suppliers as well so they need cash flow which is difficult when the government just stole all your stuff.

Needless to say, I'm very upset at this turn of events as the whole CavArms crew are friends of mine and I know them to be of high moral character. Any alleged illicit activity is just that -- alleged. Unfortunately, given how the ATF operates nearly unchecked, these transgressions by the Feds will go on unchecked and good, law-abiding gun manufacturers and dealers will continue to be subject to harassment.

If anyone here hasn't read the book "Unintended Consequences" by John Ross, I strongly suggest seeking it out and reading it now. While it is a work of fiction, I believe that the scenarios it proposes are not inconceivable given the current state of politic affairs.
