So the guy who got criticized for selling "pipe bomb recievers" at a Houston gun show responded and he's got the gun community so hilariously figured out.
post link to response plz
So yeah, we were the guys selling pipebombs at the High-Caliber Gunshow in Houston this weekend. It’s been rather entertaining to read the responses to Steve’s article. According to some folks on ar15.com, I’m apparently the anti-Christ, sent by Hillary to justify Jade Helm, and the rounding up of everyone’s guns. While conversely, I seem to be venerated as a deity of NFAAF, who “sticks it to the man” in other realms of the Internet.

I write this knowing full well that a sizable chunk of those reading it, are going to hate what I do, no matter what I say or do; and that’s fine. I’m not going to waste time calling them names; or accusing them of being whatever silly nonsense the daily Facebook witch-trials pronounce people guilty of, to of course be followed by the ritual burning-at-the-stake, for the greater glory of the online, groupthink echo-chamber. Instead I write this to people who have an open mind, and are bored with the NFA game being the same boring things since 1934.

When I look at the firearms industry today, I’m bored to tears. I see everyone doing the exact same thing. There’s a million guns stores across America (half of which always seem to have at least one “operator” behind the counter telling epic war stories) all peddling the same damn things. You go to gunshows, and it is also the same damn things at every table. The NFA game isn’t any different. It is just Suppressors, SBSs, SBRs, a few folks with transferable MGs at obscene prices, and then those mysterious Destructive Devices hardly anyone has.
Around the same time I realized how boring the gun industry is; I also realized that ever since I left the Army, I hadn’t really given a shit about any of the jobs I’d had. I was bored with life, bored with guns, and needed something new. So I quit my job, took pretty much every penny I have, and threw it into this crazy idea called Texas Machine-Gun & Ordnance, a Type 10, Manufacturer of Destructive Devices FFL; and Type 20, Manufacturer of Explosives FEL.
>>29756873
Yes, TXMGO does want to rock the boat in the firearms industry. I haven’t blown my life savings to play it safe, open “Sean’s Lame Gun Store”, and do what everyone else is doing, by peddling what amount to commodity items for people to come look at, then buy off gunbroker for $20 less. Not no, but hell no. There’s a pretty good chance we are going to fail at this, I’ll end up broke, and I’ll be in dire need of a “real job”. But I can live with that. I have failed at plenty of things in life, and I have yet to die from failure. If we are to fail at this though, I hope we fail spectacularly trying to do something big and bold.
We want to shake up the game, and do what hasn’t been done before. This isn’t part of some ideological crusade to “stick it to the man”; or arm up against the ATF’s ubiquitous black helicopters, so many members of ar15.com seem think are waiting to come after them for shouldering a Sig Brace. We are doing this so people have more options in the firearms marketplace.

While everyone is getting all wound up on the 100% legal, NFA registered pipebombs we are selling as novelty items; they missed the reusable Molotov Cocktail, affordably priced 60mm mortar, recoilless rifle, and other projects we are working on to bring something new to market for the law-abiding citizen. This is in addition to us working to build a facility for us to offer people the chance to come and literally blow shit up, and shoot exotic weaponry.
TXMGO isn’t a rogue arms-dealer, 3%’r wannabes arming up to fight off ChiCom paratroopers jumping into downtown Houston, political extremist group, or any of the more colorful things that have been said about us. Instead we are a veteran owned-and-operated company; composed of people who have sworn an oath to support and defend the Constitution of the United States. Part of supporting the Constitution, is following the rule-of-law, which we do by obsessively following all laws and regulations related to our industry.

To prevent this from turning from a response into a manifesto, I’d like to address some of the legitimate concerns that have been brought up about what we’re doing.
Yes, getting a pipebomb or a reusable Molotov Cocktail is absurd. But let’s not lie to ourselves. Almost all the guns and NFA items we buy are for fun and for us to enjoy, not some practical purpose. So you have to ask yourself if having a 100% legal pipebomb or a reusable Molotov Cocktail is any more absurd than having 5 different ARs, a transferable machine-gun, or a suppressor you only shoot at a public range where you have to wear ear protection anyways?
Yes, someone could legally buy a pipebomb from us, and commit a crime with it. But do you really think the next Unabomber is going to file a Form 4, pay a $200 tax stamp, and wait 5-6 months for ATF approval? Or do you think they’ll just go to Home Depot, and buy what they need?
>>29756895
is selling suicide vests for shock value really a good idea though?
>>29756905
>To prevent this from turning from a response into a manifesto
Too late for that Ted. Please stop spamming /k/ with this shit.
>>29756905
And finally yes, my selling unusual Destructive Devices can be twisted by the media into the narrative of gun owners being crazed nutsjobs. But we have already let them establish that narrative by not policing up our own. When you read most gun forums, there’s plenty of people frothing at the mouth, accusing their fellow Americans of being traitors, communists, poop-heads, and of not crying when Old Yeller died. Instead of responding to our our political opponents’ emotional, irrational, and patently absurd arguments with calmly presented facts, reason, and evidence; we respond with hysterics, stupid memes with fake Founding Father quotes, 1/2 truths, and angry ramblings about taking on the guv’ment with our AR-15s and the 100 or so rounds we have on hand. That kind of nonsense is why the media can cast us a nutcases, because we often act like ones.
Anyways to conclude this response, if you disagree with what we are doing, that’s fine. Reasonable people can disagree about just about everything, and we respect your right to disagree with us. We will keep doing what we are doing, and making every effort we can to be the most law-abiding FFL and FEL in the country.
Dude sounds like a total bro. 10/10 would blow shit up with.
>>29756923
>angry ramblings about taking on the guv’ment with our AR-15s and the 100 or so rounds we have on hand.
I know too many of these people
>>29756895
I work in a heavily regulated field as well. When one starts calling attention to the things that are technically legal but sound kinda dodgy when you talk about them, new regulations get handed down. Often you have to do it to yourself.
This just sounds like you're ruining it for everyone.
Free country, though, good luck.
>>29756921
>is selling suicide vests for shock value really a good idea though?
I think it was more to poke fun at the absurdity of the ATF allowing you to legally own a suicide vest ad long as you jump through all the legal hoops, as if someone who is planning on using one would even bother.

He's on the right track, even if his reasoning is wrong. The media is in the business of creating narratives to fulfill an agenda, facts be damned. Gun owners should know this better than anyone else
>>29756994
I figure it would work kind of like that big yearly machine gun shoot. They would run the facility and hand all the legal stuff and people would come to pay to Launch rockets and grenades and shit
>>29756923
>not crying when Old Yeller died.
Lost it uncontrollably right there.
>>29756923
>twisted by the media into the narrative of gun owners being crazed nutsjobs. But we have already let them establish that narrative by not policing up our own.
Yeah, up here in Canada we have policed our own, just like my friends in the UK. Guess what, they demonized us and cast us as nutcases anyways. They didn't wait for us, they established that narrative without any of our actions.
>>29756923
I have one demand of you only one make a round that is 40 grains that breaks 5000fps out of a 26 inch barrel that is all
>>29757015
Indeed. Rule of Media #1: If you can't find a nutcase, you just have the intern pretend to be one.
>>29757023
I think around 4100 fps is the ceiling right now and it would take something pretty revolutionary (like, smokeless powder level revolutionary) to go much faster
>>29757036
The worst part of it is how far the Canadian (and UK) gun communities go to stop those stereotypes. We're forever tut-tutting the wrong kind of shooters and trying to keep as positive an image as possible. Yet here we are.

The best part is him having to educate the for Houston policemen and the fucking atf agent on what's legal
I really think this was a way to draw attention to his store, but with the gun community bring full of autistic faggots who are too busy trying to make the people who hate them like them to understand what a joke is
>>29757245
Yeah, he states more or less that it is a marketing ploy. Would you have heard of them if it wasn't for this stunt? Especially considering that absolutely none of this was illegal or even "wrong", I don't see how anyone would have a problem with it. Not like he was selling plans to bomb the White House or giving kids explosives or something.
>>29757229

I think it just goes back to natural knee jerk reaction of "but why do you NEED that? You might hurt someone!", ignoring the fact that the person is being responsible enough to register the damn thing in the first place

He's a great big faggot but it's still pretty funny.

Well I hope for your sake that you really are just pretending.
>>29757305
It's kind of like Haggling though. They throw out a low offer, we throw out a high one, then we meet in the middle somewhere. If DDs became as common NFA items as SBRs and silencers, suddenly an AR15 doesn't seem all that scary, even with a 30 round assault clip.
Great, just great.
This is all going to do wonders for fun rights when Shillary gets elected. Thanks for killing the second amendment faggot
>>29757907
Except not really. If the public can be seen to responsibly handle destructive devices, then surely small arms pose no threat.
>>29757827
It's time to stop embarrassing yourself, anon. Step away from the computer.
>>29757907
Hillary's gonna try to put in new gun restrictions regardless of some dweeb in Texas selling pipes.
>>29757943
Except that's my point, as soon as the libs find out that jimbob and tyrone can legally buy pipe bombs, its only going to fuel their fire and they'll push harder and harder. Can you imagine what all the suzy-soccer-moms are going to think, and vote for, after the inevitable left wing media blitz?
I understand this guy's frustration with some aspects of ATF regs, and that it does need reforming, however, shining such a huge spotlight on it like this is only going to hurt law abiding gun owners, not help in any way, except to stroke this maniacs ego.
>>29757907
You think the 2A can be killed and you call him a faggot? The second is self preserving you fuckwad. If you allow the 2A to be lost with only paper and words, then you didn't invoke the 2A in the first place.

Also, you should sell them for $20 not $150. That's Cabellas type markup right there.
