A query. (Read 8433 times)

harry_eales Ex Member	A query. Dec 17^th, 2014 at 4:43am	Print Post
	Why is it that in the 'Wants and For Sale adverts there seems to be a great reluctance to sell anywhere outside The Lower 48 States. I have no great difficulty in buying items from Brownell's and the Little Machine Shop and other suppliers? Is this something O'Bummer has introduced. I have noted that with some machine tools I have purchased there in a US 'Gubmint' Warning letter threatening me with Nuclear annihilation, the US Navy Seals, Delta Force, cruise missiles and smart bombs if the item I have purchased is used in the manufacture of any item that is intended to cause harm either the USA it's armed forces or equipment or any American private property or persons. Hells flames, all I had bought was a tap with a US thread on it. Harry

	After all you people burnt the Whitehouse. Would you be interested in a contract job on the Capital? The election did not clean it up much. Kurt

	So, what ARE you using that tap for, Harry?? Joe.

	What did you do, ask the supplier if it would work in metals like depleted uranium?

	The order that I received from Brownell's 2 weeks ago had a note saying about the same thing as you wrote about. I don't know what this country is coming to. ron

	Sounds like a spew of legaleze created by members of the legal profession in order to be able to bill more time to increase their accounts receivable.

	One of the reasons for the warning letter is the fact that there have been several high profile arrests made when machine tools capable of producing parts for rockets and other items of war were exported to Iran by U.S. citizens who were only interested in making money. Thus, any tool like items going outside the states have that warning attached.

	look out Harry it takes some taps to make missiles. I like that they think the bad guys are going to care about a letter. Like everything else just keeps honest people honest, I guess.

	Checked the restrictions for export from the U.S. to Canada once. I was able to import "nuclear triggers" but Homeland Security does not allow the export of "black powder cartridge cases" to Canada. Brownell's will not export scope mounting screws to Canada since they consider them to be firearm components.

	A good machinist with a decent shop can make pretty much anything. Sort of an exercise in futility.

I'm sure North Korea and Iran would love to get a few triggers. Bet they'd be glad to come get 'em too!
