The real problem here, and one which is endemic through the system, is that the ATF has the unlimited resources at hand to fight this, rather than to settle. How many millions of dollars is it costing the taxpayer, because the bureaucracy has entrenched itself into a "we are always right" mode?
How can an ordinary citizen, or even a seven-figure millionaire, fight against an entity with literally bottomless coffers? The agency literally has limitless power, and companies like Cav Arms have to just sit there, be polite, and take it. "Uh... Sir, we're really not sure what you're looking for, but you are free to ruin our business if it makes you happy."
THAT is something to write your representatives about - the abuses of the bureaucracy. The "gun thing" isn't sexy, but in this day and age, squandering taxpayer dollars is...
(damn... looks like they'll let ANYONE in here... I sincerely hope that we can keep this reincarnated forum looking at the big picture, and not get derailed into splitting hairs...)
