[QUOTE="FTB44, post: 943713, member: 9927"] Howdy All, I don't think the BATFE tries entrapment on gunbroker. I think like most Law Enforcement Agenies (LEA), they are more reactive, i.e. someone notices a violation and reports it. Certainly, LEA's do conduct investigative ruses, but this normally requires authority based on alleged criminal activity. Fishing is normally not allowed, but there is always a possiblity. The letter (link) found on the internet seems strange due to the fact that the BATFE was transferred from the Dept of Treasury (DOT) to the Dept of Justice (DOJ) in 2001 after 911. Note the letter head is still DOT. It is possible that someone just used old letter head. I would contact BATFE directly for clarification. Also, a recommendation is that when a OSA member gets and Official written response to a question, it could be sent to the moderator for verification and then posted in a "Libary section" and/or type folder for all to read and benefit from??? Maybe the moderator may feel this has some merit??? [/QUOTE]
