Slow times at the office ATF?

I wonder if this is really about something else. I can't believe the guy giving the total bs reason that they could easily be made into fully automatic machine guns though.

The Martins said they buy their stock from Taiwan because the merchandise is less expensive. But the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives seized a shipment of 30 in October. That shipment is worth around $12,000 and the ATF is promising to destroy the entire shipment.

Special Agent Kelvin Crenshaw said the toys can be easily retro-fitted into dangerous weapons.

"With minimal work it could be converted to a machine gun," Crenshaw said.

How on earth could they be made into real weapons? They're Airsoft rifles!!!

Guys, step back from the keyboard. Take a breath. Keep the profanity down to a dull roar. Please.

Now if they fell into the habds of "The Little Rascals" I could see them becoming dangerous.

This is ridiculous. First, they are toys, not Alcohol, Firearms, Tobacco, or Explosives. How is this any different than confiscating and threatening to destroy fertilizer?

Like I said, there has to be more to this story than what is reported.

Fine, I'll tone it down I suppose. I just can't believe that the ATF would waste their time on a bunch of toys. That's going a little overboard.
