Cavalry Arms

The first video I ever posted here, about the basics of AR-15 operation (the one with the cute chick) is unfortunately no longer available. I wish I had downloaded it, instead of just linking to it.
The reason it isn't available is the BATFE has chosen Cavalry Arms, the producer of the video as well as of the injection-molded AR lowers featured in the video, as the newest victim of their campaign to ban military-style rifles tactically, by raiding and, if possible, bankrupting all the companies that produce them. That is assuming, of course, that they can't manage enough "evidence" for a conviction.
When asked the reason for the raid, their spokesman said "we allege that violations have occurred" but, as usual, they won't tell us what the charges are. They did throw us the tidbit that they are confiscating all inventory from the business.

Allow me to point out that this mostly happens to small, civilian-ownership-friendly companies like Cavarms; not so much to huge conglomerates like Colt, Smith & Wesson and Ruger who sell mostly to the REAL, LEGITIMATE users and are perfectly willing to sign agreements to work with them against us lowly serfs.
Ours is not to question, but merely to keep on working and spending, so as to keep the tax dollars rolling in.
