Ares Armor Writes Letter To ATF Director Todd Jones

At approximately 1015 AM PDT, Saturday, March 15th, the BATFE executed a search warrant on Oceanside, California-based Ares Armor, seizing 80% AR-15 polymer lowers manufactured by EP Armory, as well as private customer information. In response to this action, Dimitri Karras – CEO of Ares Armor, wrote a letter addressed directly to B. Todd Jones – Director of BATFE:

Letter to Todd Jones

In this letter, Dimitri, citing specific examples of prior court rulings and product manufacturing methods, outlines his reasoning as to why the 80% polymer lowers manufactured by EP Armory and later seized by the BATFE cannot be classified as a firearm. Dimitri requests that any seized 80% lowers be returned to Ares Armor. Additionally, he also requests that copies of private customer information that was obtained during the raid be destroyed.

    Dimitri makes a good argument based on common sense and logic. Problem is the Gov. doesn’t use common sense or logic. I hope the ATF comes to see the error of its ways and make things right with Ares Armor and others.

    Sounds like a Holder op.

    Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms… Only the Federal Government would have the gall to create an entire law enforcement agency dedicated to the policing of three legal commodities.

      Reminds me of a T-shirt I saw. Had the BATFE seal on it and underneath that said something along the lines of, “If you’re doing something cool, we’re likely trying to stop you.”

    I think he should have used the “Chewbacca defense”.
