ATF agent says airsoft gun can be converted to fire real bullets

[Oldgringo]

They can't fight real crime and prevent criminals from obtaining real guns, but they can sure harass law abiding citizens. Whoever the head moron that runs the BATFE should fire this guy as an example of incompetence OR BATFE should immediately release the documentation and evidence that supports the claims of this idiot agent.

He may be promoted but you can bet your bippie that HE won't be fired.

I've never filed a freedom of information act request. Maybe I should look into how that is done.

Bippie? That's a word I haven't heard in a long time.

Many years ago my bippie was sweet! That is a blast from the past.

Back when Goldie Hawn and I were both young.

Mine was sweet too, but don't forget the always possible manifestation of a double bippie!

Meaning Goldy?

Even now, raisin wrinkly as she is, she's still beautiful...of course being raisin wrinkly myself I can be forgiven (I hope) for thinking an old woman is still yummy.

Heh, heh, - hey, little girl I've got candy, at least that's what Arty Johnson always told Ruth Buzzy until she whacked him with her assault purse.

I suspect that it's a word that many forum members have never heard.

Heard of it and somewhat recently used it at work.

Where would you think the demarcation age line is for this? About 40y?

The show ran from 1968-1973 so I think you would have to be about 40-45 yrs old to remember.

What kind of qualifications does one need to get these government jobs? Are they required to have ever seen a gun? Maybe they are just required to spend a few years of their youth in one of those schools with safe places and gun free zones.

It's one thing to be stupid, it's another level to go on record to the news media and get it on your permanent record.

Maybe older'n that, Wildbill? Assuming viewer's age is 8 in '68, that viewer would be in their mid 50's now. WOW! Time does fly, whether you're having fun or not, eh?

I suspect this agent met all of his qualifications.

[CleverNickname]

This is really old news.

That said, a number of companies sell plastic AR15 lower recievers, so why is it a big surprise that a plastic or potmetal airsoft M16 lower could be easily converted to work with a real AR upper?
