TO: Whom It May Concern
FROM: Dimitrios Karras, CEO Ares Armor
SUBJ: AB 1014, Gun Violence Restraining Orders
DATE: June 1, 2014
We are now at the beginning stages of the legal fight against the ATF’s tyrannical rampage across the country.
They operate under the assumptions that extortion and robbery are acceptable tools that they may use against the American People.
If you are a customer of Ares Armor, the ATF has STOLEN your name and information out of our database. We intend to get it back.
Again, if you conducted any business with us between February of 2010 through March of 2014 they stole YOUR information. We have since updated our computer systems with encryption but that’s not enough. We want the Court to force them to destroy all copies of the information they took. We are going to go for the throat. The ATF is essentially running secret tribunals that do not comply with APA regulations. We have a regulatory agency that thinks they can pick and choose which regulations they themselves abide by!!!! We have an opportunity to attack the very nature of how the ATF operates.
They are on the clock. First, they must respond to our contest of forfeiture within the next 10 calendar days. Second, they have attempted to hide in the shadows like the cowards they are and have refused to produce documents relating to the Search Warrant they obtained almost 4 months ago. We have been granted a hearing on July 31st 2014 where we hope to get a court order demanding them to turn over the “secret” documents they are hiding. Once we have these documents we can amend our complaint and launch a full on offensive against their illegal organization.
They are a force to be reckoned with. They have unlimited funding and resources. We do not. They have caused immeasurable damage to our business and are hoping to bleed us out. We need your help! I am expecting to incur extreme legal fees over the next couple of months. I would love to say that I can stand by myself and win. I cannot without your support. Unfortunately justice is not free in our country.
If you want to see us win this fight, every penny helps. I have cut my own salary to less than minimum wage and am putting every single thing we have into this fight.
I believe in this. Every order placed on our website or in store is greatly appreciated! If you cannot help with money, we understand that times are tough, spreading the word and raising awareness about our plight is also appreciated.
The battle has begun, if you want to see the underdog come out victorious over one of the largest Federal Agencies in existence… I need your help! Thank you all!
Aut inveniam viam aut faciam,

@Rich – actually, generally accepted cryptographic techniques and ciphers can defeat even the NSA when implemented properly. The ATF is not going to have the NSA’s resources to crack an AES-256 encrypted list of 80% lower purchases, not are they going to spend the time, money and effort in trying to do so. The question still stands as to why this data wasn’t protected to begin with. Regulatory standards such as PCI require that relevant data such as stored credit card numbers already be protected in such a manner, so why was something like sale records not similarly protected, especially… Read more »
Must be a lot of responders on here have no idea of what is required by law for firearms businesses and to blame the bussines for not having taken the precautions that they are so quick to offer in regards to preventing this from occuring. Is certainly a whole lot of ignorant armchair quarterbacking. Who has offered to defray the expense of the so called preventions they offered. They are a gunnstore not the fricking CIA. And its easy to say after the Fact, that the owners should have done this or that. But this is still supposed to be… Read more »
I know this ! When them ATF parasites start showing up at Ares Armor customers houses who bought multiple 80% lowers from them I hope they still have em and didn’t sell em ! This could turn out to be a real bad situation because Ares Armor allowed them to steal them records !
You’re damn sure right it was theft ! But Ares Armor shouldn’t had had nothing for them to steal when they showed up !
QUIT BLAMING THE BUSNESS. THE ATF CAN COME INTO YOUR BUSINESS AND TAKE WHAT EVER THEY WANT. THERE THUGS. IF I WAS THE OWNER I WOULD HAVE GRABBED AN AR AND STARTED SHOOTING THEM FOR THEFT. IT SEEMS THE ONLY WAY TO GET THIS SHIT STOPPED IS TO START SHOOTING THESE CRIMINALS. WAS THERE EVEN A WARRANT?
