Anyone who misclassifies cut up barrel shrouds as machineguns shouldn't be working for the ATF, but that's exactly what ATF Firearms Enforcement Officer Ronald K. Davis did. He put this deception into a report, which ATF Agent William S. Harston, Jr., quickly used as evidence to obtain a search warrant of Adamiak's home. Hairston, the ATF's lead case agent, even held up a toy during Adamiak's trial, which of course was also classified as a machinegun.

I haven't been to a Publix grocery store since I learned that the massive southeastern grocery store chain doesn't want its customers to carry firearms openly on its property or in its stores.

Publix does business in states that strongly support their residents' Second Amendment rights—absent the 24 properties in Virginia…at least for now. So, why take away their right to openly carry firearms? That remains known only to a few upper-level staffers at Publix headquarters in Lakeland, Florida.
