Do you have evidence of your claim about the ATF? When did the ATF ask TRA to not ask for valid LEMPs?

jerry, you really are retarded!

The subject line is: Re: "jerry irvine".

In fact ATF asked TRA SPECIFICALLY NOT TO ENFORCE FOR THEM.

You've obviously (and intentionally) missed Phil's point. TRA requires manufacturers show LEMPs when submitting motors for cert because ATF requires manufacturers to have LEMPs. Any manufacturer who does not have an LEMP is operating illegally in the eyes of the ATF.

Furthermore, ATF has never told TRA that they should not ask manufacturers for LEMPs. If you believe otherwise, post a verifiable cite.

You ignored the two questions above and edited them out of your idiotic reply. Is that the best YOU can do, Jerry? Funny, every time someone tries to get some hard evidence or verifiable cites out of you, all you do post unrelated drivel and then have the gall to claim that THEY are off-topic.

I didn't miss the point.

I called you and your ilk liars.

I have first hand experience that claim is false. With no fines.

And you are an expert in contravention to the law, how?

Ray,

Jerry will not change his position. Like a moron, he appears fixated on his enterpatation of fact, no matter the reality: His fixated interpretation of ATF, DOT, and TRA/NAR realities are just some of the examples that stand out.

BTW, this should be added to the JI FAQ.. (:-)

Are you making motors that you sell? If so, we can get ATF to settle this once and for all. May I arrange a visit?

Of course you will omit what I actually said.

Ignorance is bliss.

Get a clue.

Simply read the law.

The judge said that exemptions at 55.141 apply to our rocket motors. Section 55.141 (a) begins: General. This part shall not apply with respect to..." (and then enumerates the various exempted circumstances).

The exemption relieves us from the ENTIRE burden of compliance to all regulations of "part 55", not just from only those parts dealing with user permits. Also in part 55 are to be found requirements for manufacture, storage, etc., and the definition of "explosive materials" (in section 55.11) that invokes the "List of Explosive Materials provided for in section 55.23". That means that BATF can "list" things as "explosive" all they want, but that doesn't act to bring PAD's within the definition of "Explosive Materials" - neither their creation and distribution (whether or not considered "commercial"), nor their acquisition, storage and use, are subject to Part 55.

What part of "this part shall not apply to..." are you having such trouble understanding?

Where does is "commercial manufacturer of what is classified as a LE" excluded from the exemption?

From: Rick Dickinson

I have had enough law classes, and have done well enough in them, to be able to read and comprehend legal documents, and to draw substantive, supportable conclusions from what I read. The study of law is about learning to pick out what's important, and paying attention to the details. While fair play (aka "equity") is part of the law, attention to detail is a far bigger part. If the law says something, you won't go far wrong by taking it extremely literally, as written.

The interesting thing, to me, is that Dave and I have not been contradicting what the lawyers said. We have been taking what they have said, what the judge said, and what the law says, reading them all, and drawing the conclusion that the law says what it means.

and

All I have been saying is that:

1) The judge ruled that fully assembled rocket motors are, for now, correctly classified as Propellant Actuated Devices (PADs), as listed in Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations, Part 555 (formerly known as Part 55), Section 841(a)(8). 27 CFR 55.841(a)(8), in full, reads as follows: "(8) Gasoline, fertilizers, propellant actuated devices, or propellant actuated industrial tools manufactured, imported, or distributed for their intended purposes.".

2) 27 CFR 55.841(a)(8) is only one of 9 exemptions mentioned under 27 CFR 555.841(a), which reads, in full: "(a) General. Except for the provisions of Secs. 55.180 and 55.181, this part does not apply to:"

3) The term "this part" in 27 CFR 55.841(a) has a specific legal meaning, in context. It refers, specifically, to the particular Part of the particular Title containing the phrase "this part". In other words, it refers to Part 55 of Title 27 of the Code of Federal Regulations (aka 27 CFR 55). This reading is made even more obvious by the fact that the sub-section 841(a) mentions several other sections within the part it's talking about specifically by number.

4) The provisions of sections 55.180 and 55.181 relate to "plastic explosives", which are defined in 27 CFR 55.180(c)(4) as "(4) Plastic explosive means an explosive material in flexible or elastic sheet form formulated with one or more high explosives which in their pure form has a vapor pressure less than 10-\4\ Pa at a temperature of 25 deg.C, is formulated with a binder material, and is as a mixture malleable or flexible at normal room temperature. High explosives, as defined in Sec. 55.202(a), are explosive materials which can be caused to detonate by means of a blasting cap when unconfined."

5) I don't think anyone has ever even alleged that the rocket motors we are talking about are "formulated with one or more high explosives", so the provisions in sections 55.180 and 55.181 of this part (part 55) are clearly not applicable.

6) Since 27 CFR 55.180 and 55.181 are clearly not applicable, what we are left with is an exemption from all of 27 CFR 55. As you can see by perusing

formatting link
, Part

55 regulates all aspects of "Commerce In Explosives", from licensing to storage, to disposal, transportation, or what to do if any is stolen. See 27 CFR 55.41 for general information on Licenses and Permits, for instance.

7) An unequivocal exemption from essentially all of 27 CFR 55 (with the twin exceptions of the sections relating to plastic explosives I mentioned above) means that LEUPs are not needed. It also means that LEMPs are not needed for manufacturing PADs. Assembling a PAD is an unregulated activity, at least as far as the federal explosives regulations in 27 CFR 55 are concerned.

and

Actually, the PAD exemption specifically exempts PADs from "this part", referring to 27 CFR Part 55 (now renumbered to part 555), which is the term for the section of the law that contains the PAD exemption, and the storage, permitting, and other regulations concerning explosives. By exempting PADs from "this part" using verbiage within "Part 555" (nee 55), PADs are exempt from *all* of the regulations therein.

Note: this is *including* the regulations requiring permits for manufacturers and dealers.

Do a web search for "27 CFR 55" and read it yourself if you don't beleive me.

- Rick "Use the Source, Luke" Dickinson

Dave W:

10 year old documents like 27 CFR part 555 (recently renumbered in implementing the "homeland security act" updates), which contains the exemption at section 141(a)(8) unchanged from when the whole part was numbered "part 55": this sure suggests to me that the Intent of the Legislature, in acting to close the so-called "loophole" involving in-state transfers of actual "Explosives", nevertheless intended to leave the P.A.D. exemption intact.

jerry, Are you making motors that you sell?

So back it up with verifiable proof, or sit down and shut up.

You've made that claim many times before and have always refused to provide any proof whatsoever.

Depends on how you define it. Is an "expert in contravention to the law" one who knows how to keep his nose clean and avoid a big fine? Or is one who has contravened the law so much that he now owes the government a big fine, has been forced out of the motor business, and is so afraid of possible prosecution that he has to keep his business arrangements wrapped in secrecy?

We all know what the law says. We also know what the judge has said, including the unfavorable stuff you like to ignore. The issue is, will the ATF uphold and enforce YOUR interpretation of the law? Apparently you don't really believe what you're preaching, Jerry. If you did, you would welcome the chance to have them prove you are correct. Instead, you writh like a worm on a hot sidewalk at the mere mention of ATF involvement.
