49. What job do you think they should do exactly?

I'm genuinely interested...what do you feel the ATF should do in this case? The product in question, the firearm it is attached to, and the transaction offered are LEGAL - not unlawful in any way. The ATF can do NOTHING, your repeated alerting of them regardless. Just because you're horrified that this product exists doesn't mean you can summon a gov't entity to do your wishes. Mind you, I wouldn't ever associate with this chump; I'm also not worried about his poor self being persecuted (since, again, he is not doing anything illegal).

I do think you mean well in your own way; my worry is the ATF tiplines being overwhelmed with misinformed "reporting" in the current climate drowning out legitimate concerns of yahoos with illegal homebrew silencers, machine guns, bombs, annd genuinely illegal crap that needs enforcement.
