What's up at DonnyFL?

The subject at hand is nothing to joke about
No it isn’t. Hence why we are here … maybe expending a little nervous mirth in the process.

I’m concerned for our sport/ hobby.

I’ve seen recently Iguana hunts ( Florida ) have caused local counties to make up “ airgun “ laws” of the restricted type

Reckless people hurting our hobby / sport
 
I agree 100% it's got to the point where you can't believe anything on the innerweb or the news. I stopped watching the news many years ago and it's getting to the point to not be on the forums anymore.
Never underestimate the benefit to a thread of changing the subject.

Always thought having all metal construction would cause Donny issues eventually, this is too bad that some idiots ruined it for rest of us. Then again it’s not hard to find a thread adapter that make it fit in on a PB.

I’m sticking to my plastic 3D printed moderators.
That was in the back of my mind with metal constructed mods. Yeah 3d !

I don't think there's any support for this assertion. Unless I missed something.

Not really assertion, doesn’t take much to adopt an oil filter from amazon or find a “fuel filter”. While I call those who do things that would break the law idiots but they clearly ain’t stupid, lack of good judgement but not stupid. There are reasons for most laws to be formed to begin with.

I seen those dudes on YouTube, dressed like they finish playing basketball, carrying what looks like PB. no vest, no name tags or t shirts saying pest control, like bruh really

Ok I’m not the only one that thinks that…

I’m all for pesting but running around in the open with no visible distinguishing vest/ uniform with high powered airguns taking shots with little to no backstop in residential areas is asking for attention.

I have to wear an orange vest when I hunt they should be required too also.
 
Same page on the pesting like your a thug on the block, when I show up to a permission there is first and foremost the utmost attention paid to professionalism and safety. I don't see any of that with these guys running next to causeways blasting iguanas with traffic near by etc

Well, yes there are reasons that laws are passed to begin with... and they are not ALL good reasons.

My point was that we do not know why DonnyFL is currently not communicating with their customer base and so it is probably not prudent to just assume someone there has done something wrong. According to the First Circuit Court of Appeals there is nothing wrong with building a moderator which could be used on a firearm so long as it was not designed and or sold with that intent. Your assumption that they somehow did something wrong or facilitated that behavior is counter productive.

Well Donny is selling them so it is likely to catch flack one of these days which is my opinion, nothing more. It is also my opinion that it is likely the all metal construction caught government’s attention like the Chinese “fuel filter”

I agree all of us are just wasting time debating what might of happened but certain there is nothing we can do productively or counter productive regarding Donny’s situation. We are all just killing time speculating, nothing we say here will change the eventual outcome for Donny.


Fair to say no one agrees with ALL the laws and no one will agree with ALL others’ disagreements of the laws but that is what makes this country unique and great…….when we all act like civilized adults.

Speculation in general about this particular problem is going to be a waste of time until we hear what's going on if we ever do. I remain curious as to what happened to the original poster and why the thread exists at all given that he hit and then ran.

The purpose of posting on internet is exactly as you said, a waste of time! LOL!

Donny is a close friend and we told almost every day, So when the event happened he called me too let me know what happened , that said lawyers are handling it and I nor anyone in the know can talk about it. I can say he will get past this and back to business as usual after all the Ts and Is have been crossed and dotted. Donny is top notch as anyone whos done business with him knows and has absolutely done nothing illegal. If things don't swing his way the whole air rifle community will be backing him and we are strong and many.

Of course at this point you and he are not speaking of it unless you are representing him. That is most likely a good thing. Once they hit you with that gag order, you are kinda stuck until things are resolved.

For one, I have the best wishes for him and his efforts. I think you have probably managed to put this thread to bed finally. God Speed, Donny. I hope to see everything work out well.
