AGK Supply Raided, Owner Charged With Conspiracy For Employee’s Action Off the Clock , iStock-KatarzynaBialasiewicz

SAN DIEGO, CA -(Ammoland.com)- On October 13, 2021, the San Diego “Ghost Gun” Task Force raided a local business and the business owner’s home.

The law enforcement task force reported that they seized multiple Polymer80 kits, multiple unserialized “assault weapons,” 3D printers, “high” capacity magazines, hundreds of rounds of ammunition, and $90,000 in cash. Now due to leaks from the investigation, AmmoLand News has found out the company’s name and what has been turned up in the investigation.

The company’s name is AGK Supply. The company marketed and sold unfinished frames and receivers, and other gun parts. A temporary employee purchased a legal pistol slide and a part kits from his San Diego-based employer. He used the lower parts to complete a previously purchased Polymer80 kit. He took the completed kit and allegedly offered to sell it to a man he met online. That man turned out to be an undercover cop with the San Diego “Ghost Gun” Task Force. The offer to sell deal was not done at AGK Supply’s location and was done in the dead of night when the retailer was not open.

The task force found out that the victim of the police sting worked for the online retailer of unfinished frames and receivers. San Diego’s “Ghost Gun” Task Force then went to a judge and requested that the court issue a search warrant for AGK Supply. The courts rarely turn down search warrants, and it was no different in this case.

The San Diego “Ghost Gun” Task Force raided the company’s location and seized all of AGK Supply’s inventory, computer systems, phones, and cash. At the same time, the law enforcement task force raided the owner’s home. The police officers serving the warrant seized more money, a 3D printer, magazines, cell phones, and other firearms at the house.

The local district attorney filed conspiracy charges against the business owner. Notwithstanding the man who was busted allegedly selling the completed firearm to an undercover officer, there is no evidence that the owner of AGK Supply knew the employee would use the lower parts kit and slide to make a complete pistol that he would later try and sell.

By his own admission, the temporary employee didn’t even purchase the 80% P80 kit from the AGK Supply, but none of that matters to the “Ghost Gun” Task Force.

Normal Capacity Magzine Seized:  Any magazine holding more than ten rounds is at this moment in time, illegal in California, but there have been exceptions to the current law. Several years ago, there was something called Freedom Week. During that time a California judge issued an injunction against the ban on standard capacity magazines. Gun owners were allowed to keep any magazines obtained during that one week. There is no evidence that the company owner acquired the magazines outside freedom week.

According to sources familiar with the case that are not authorized to talk to the press, some of the so-called “assault weapons” seized were not completed rifles. Prosecutors claim some of the firearms were out of compliance with California’s complex law, other items were stripped lower receivers which law enforcement referred to as “assault lowers.”

Although the sources inside law enforcement didn’t claim that the shop owner was being targeted for running a business that sold 80% kits, there is a lot of circumstantial evidence that points to AGK Supply and the company’s owner being on the watch-list of the San Diego “Ghost Gun” Task Force.

AmmoLand News has decided not to name AGK Supply’s owner to protect his privacy. The man could not comment on the charges because of pending legal action against him but confirmed that his company was targeted in the questionable raids. This time no one was hurt during the police raids.

I know of only one Firearms business that stands up to the tyranny of the gun grabbing politicians in Commiefornia! That would be Ronnie Barrett! He refuses to sell, service or provide parts for his products to any agency in said State!

Wild Bill

Wow, good leadership by example! MC, brother!

USMC0351Grunt

As those of US!

“He refuses to sell, service or provide parts for his products to any agency in said State!”

…or return said products!
He had firearms belonging to law enforcement departments when the law was passed making them illegal in Commiefornia. He refused to ship the firearms back to those departments since, due to the new law, they were now illegal in Commiefornia!

“There is no evidence that the company owner acquired the magazines outside freedom week.”

I really like that line. Thanks for the reminder that the burden of proof is on the state, not the individual.

Courageous Lion - Hear Me Roar - Jus Meum Tuebor

Actually the psychopathic control freaks that RUN the state have proven that. The “state” is a fiction. It is ALWAYS little tyrants running around screwing people over.

Yes, and they typically come to power by promising the majority of people they will take from the minority and give it to the majority (a key component of socialism/communism). They then pass more and more laws and pay people to enforce those laws – particularly against those they don’t like (and not enforce laws against people they do like).

It happens in all states to one extent or another and changes over time. During all those times, there are some people in all those states who do not support totalitarianism.

JSNMGC

You do welcome those anti-totalitarian people who live in the cities to be part of the group who is against totalitarianism though, right? I mean, you wouldn’t exclude them just because of the location of where they live, would you?

Some people piss on all the people in Oregon and claim they deseve what they get for voting for Democrats, even though there are obviously many good, anti-totalitarian people who live in Oregon who don’t vote for Democrats and other totalitarians.

JSNMGC

I thought so – just checking based on the wording of your comment.

Thanks.

Revolutionary Summer was good. Check out First Salute by Barbara Tuchman. Makes it pretty clear the Revolution would’ve failed without The United Provinces running guns to America until Britain took them out a month before France came in.

JSNMGC

I read that one a long time ago, but I should read it again.

I assume you have read “The Gulag Archipelago” – another one I should re-read. It was painful to read how much they regretted not shooting/beating armed government employees while they had the chance.

Read it. Yep. Maybe I’ll read it again after finishing up Sword and Scimitar by Raymond Ibrahim, if I don’t feel depressed enough after that. Great book btw

More blaming the victims.

Hey, the people living in Germany in the 1930s took their chances. Don’t blame the Allgemeine Schutzstaffel and the Gestapo, they were just following orders. Don’t make generalizations about them, no one knows what percentage of them were bad. If you make comments about what they did, you are a SS and Gestapo hater (and probably just mad about getting a ticket).

Yes, the legislators that made these libtard laws were elected by the libtard majority (and cheating). That majority of socialist individuals is walking around in street clothes and are indistinguishable from the rest of the right thinking population.

The majority of the people born between the mid 1800s and early 1900s across America voted for the people who created the NFA of 1934. Does some pro 2nd Amendment person living in Texas deserve what he gets from the BATFE who are just following orders?

Regarding California today, are the people walking around in blue uniforms who actually arrest people for following the Constitution not to be criticized?

Many states have turned from being relatively pro 2nd Amendment to more anti 2nd Amendment. When that happens to more states, will you back the blue, no matter what they do?

Wild Bill

A seemingly plausible statement. Can you prove that? What research did you do or is that just an assumption? Absent proof the remainder of your argument, really, can not get off the ground.

JSNMGC

Proof that the majority of voters voted for the people who created the NFA of 1934?

22.8 milion people voted for Roosevelt
15.8 million people voted for Hoover

https://www.270towin.com/1932_Election/

Roosevelt signed the NFA of 1934 into law.

Wild Bill

Roosevelt did not instate the NFA all by himself.

JSNMGC

He signed it into law.

The people who created the legislation were also elected by a majority of voters in their states.

swmft

they dont like the truth so they vote it down so sad ,guess wb is “woke”

JSNMGC

You, sir, are one of the handful of former LEOs on this site who speak out against those LEOs who enforce never-ending gun control and otherwise abuse people’s civil rights. America would be a better place with more people like you. God bless you and Merry Christmas.

JSNMGC

BTW, Roosevelt got 88% of the votes in Texas.

A Texan created the BATFE.

A Texan was the boss of the Texan who created the BATFE and allowed him to do it.

I don’t hold Texas, or Texans, responsible for the creation of either the NFA of 1934 or the BATFE.

There are well over a million true blue patriots living in California. They are being oppressed by law enforcement.

Wild Bill

If you don’t hold Texans responsible, then why did you bring it up? None of those assertions help your argument blaming cops.
There is plenty of blame to go around socialist marxist voters, community organizers, legislators, judges, professors, teachers, federal, state, and local bureaucrats, nearly the entire media industry, bankers and financiers, and even business persons.
To focus on just cops is just short sighted and makes it look like you hate them as a group for personal reasons.
What is the word that I am looking for? Oh yeah … specious.

JSNMGC

You and others are making generalized comments about California. Unquestionably, a super-majority of California voters for some time now have voted for totalitarian policies. A super-majority of Texans voted for Roosevelt who signed the NFA of 1934 into law (he also championed numerous socialist policies aimed at creating a bigger government and more wealth redistribution). A lot of the people being oppressed by law enforcement in California have never voted for a Democrat – just like a lot of people living in Texas today do not support the NFA of 1934. You and others, rightfully, make disparaging comments about the… Read more »

^^^^^TRUTH^^^^^^ and yet I see down votes by PROLES…AGAIN…That system is our enemy. But when you’re inside, you look around, what do you see? Businessmen, teachers, lawyers, carpenters. The very minds of the people we are trying to save. But until we do, these people are still a part of that system and that makes them our enemy. You have to understand, most of these people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inert, so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.”

Many will keep taking the blue pill – it’s easier for them right up until it isn’t.

I don’t think that it is the system or all cops that are our enemies. I think that greedy, self serving, power hungry people infiltrate every aspect of our system. They seek power where ever they can grasp it.
That is a dismal thought, at this festive time of year, implying an almost insurmountable task, that is why it is tempting to focus all blame on just one group.
Oh, and MC, brother.

Russn8r

“I don’t think all cops are our enemies.” (as if JSNMGC does).

Lay off the strawmen, WB, or shall I say…TEX…

Wild Bill

Yes, I can see that you have studied history. I can also see that you have not studied forensics. You mix a few specious assertions in with a lot of assertions that I can agree with, but the whole of your argument is based upon the first assertion that still just a supposition.
You can not further the whole until that first assertion is fixed or at least shored up a bit. Many have come to your aid, and valiantly, but having the same defects.
Blaming everything on the cops is just a quick fix. There are no quick fixes.

JSNMGC

You are reading what you want to read and ignoring the rest. First and foremost, I blame the people who vote for the redistribution of wealth. It is the gateway to socialism. The reason for socialism is communism. The laws that come with socialism are only effective if there are people to enforce them.

As to your first sentence: No.
Second sentence: You have been blaming the only cops, and, so clearly that others have picked up the chant.
Regarding your last paragraph, you return to blaming a specific LEO, in condemnation of the whole. This is not the structure of a convincing argument.

JSNMGC

I have been criticizing cops for enforcing unconstitutional laws. It takes one group of people to create the law and another group to enforce the law.   A large percentage of the people here focus on the politicians and governors/presidents. You don’t take offense to that or to people criticizing federal enforcers.   A smaller group points out that if no one enforced the laws, the problem would be largely mitigated. Most of those people were here before I joined and were posting similar comments at the time I joined. They are well-informed all on their own, as are millions… Read more »

Good luck finding one who will let you off for having an unregistered semiautomatic rifle when that day comes. It certainly wouldn’t be Don (who said he would enforce such a law), and who rarely receives many down votes here.

Don’t forget the person who wrote this:

“Start charging the turds who violate firearms laws and keep them jailed.”

Wild Bill

This is Texas. My wife’s hair dresser has an unregistered semiautomatic rifle.
If you don’t name them I can not possible know whom you are writing about.

JSNMGC

You could possibly know, but maybe you don’t. It’s not beyond a possibility that you read that comment when Will (“TEX”) wrote it or when I quoted it numerous times.

McLennan county is in Texas as well. The Chief Deputy, Captain of the McLennan sheriff office called in the BATFE for suspected NFA violations. That didn’t pan out.

Edited to add: I said “when the day comes” – meaning when there is a law requiring people in Texas to regiser their semiautomatic rifles.

THE MAIN PROBLEM…IS THE ENFORCERS that KNOWINGLY violate their oath to support and defend the Constitution. WITHOUT THE ENFORCERS the policy making elite are castrated and are pretty much powerless.

Absent the marxist socialist voters, business persons, media, legislators, judges. and various bureaucrats there would not be strong arms enforcing unconstitutional laws.
There are no quick fixes. We need to return to the Constitution.

JSNMGC

The majority of Americans want other people’s stuff, so they vote for people who promise to give them other people’s stuff (in many different ways).

The people who promise to redistribute stuff also want never-ending gun control.

It doesn’t matter if it’s the BATFE or a rural sheriff deputy on a task force – those who enforce never-ending gun control should not be supported.

Wild Bill

How will you sift out those who enforce never-ending gun control from the others, so that you can not support them?

JSNMGC

When a cop does something bad, I don’t support him/her.

Cops/former cops need to speak out against their own. Again, there are only a few who do it on this site.

You meant to write some percentage of business persons,” right?

The way you wrote it makes you sound like a hate-filled person who hates himself and was personally wronged by a business person.

Boy, that is the truth. Cali can not be trusted. Why is there a ghost gun task force, when all those guys should be on the Smash and Grab Task Force or Out On No Bail Task Force?

JSNMGC

“Cali?” – that’s a broad brush generalization about a lot of people.

This is nothing new.

A certain percentage of California law enforcement will follow almost any order.

They followed orders to retreat to wealthy neighborhoods that were not in danger during the Rodney King riots and left shop owners in the middle of the riot to fend for themselves.

After the dust settled, they went back and persecuted those shop owners for brandishing and using their firearms.

They also enforced new “emergency gun laws” during the crisis.

In crapistan many (or most) police are also the bad guys

I’ve been criticized for saying that very thing, so to appease those people I now make sure I write “a certain percentage” of California enforcers are bad (just like a certain percentage of Allgemeine Schutzstaffel and Gestapo were bad).

The reason for having a gun store in crapistan is not to sell guns it’s to mine the state for collectible guns that can not be transferred in state, pay nothing for them because sellers have no options and sell them out of state on gunbroker for real profit.

The difference between a gun store in crapistan compared to a free state when you walk in the door is “what do you want?” vs “hi, how ya doing? Can I help you?”

It’s still WE, The People’s responsibility and duty to maintain ALL elected and appointed officials and city, county, state and federal workers to whatever office or job description they are in office for. NO WHERE in the Constitution or Constitutions of ANY state is there authority to lord any power over WE, The People, or county, city laws or ordinances give ANY official(s) ANY powers granted to them over the citizens. IF the citizens remain on their apathetic and complacent asses that KEEP ALLOWING THESE ACTIONS, THIS is what occurs. California is a known hotbed of snowflakes, fruits, vegetables, nut… Read more »

Even if fuly acquitted, the process IS the punishment for daring to trade in things we do not like”. I hope this guy has good legal representation.This fight will take years, and cost him everyting. ALL his business assets and inventory are now stolen, he will likely be prohibited getting more, and likely does not have the cash to replace what they stole so he can get going again. One case where immiunity must NOT be extended to the ringleaders and operatives who have perpetrated this massive theft. They have the guy illegally selling what HE made. Be done with… Read more »

FOLLOW CLOSELY: The treble damages burden of proof will typically look like the following:

  • The plaintiff suffered damages caused by the defendant
  • Demonstrate that the plaintiff’s conduct was intentional, deliberate, malicious or willful
  • The law expressly authorizes the judge to grant treble damages
  • The plaintiff must specifically demand treble damages in his or her lawsuit

Deplorable Bill

“The right to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed.” The 2A. The state government is the criminal here not the guy who sold his firearm. Any law that counters the constitution is null and void per the supreme court. See Mayburry vs Madison. There will come the day when these state and federal criminals are going to try to knock off the wrong person, the person who will uphold the law of the land, the constitution, against all enemies foreign and domestic. When tyranny becomes law………

Arm up and carry on

I just don’t, nor have I ever understood why conservatives are always so pro-law enforcement; by their own admission. . . Or, why they go around talking: “Back the Blue” nonsense. It’s such an ENORMOUS contradiction of perspective. What is there not to understand? THESE PEOPLE ARE NOT YOUR FRIENDS. THESE AGENTS OF “THE LAW”, ARE NOT YOUR BUDDYS. They’re not. Even if you’re actually acquaintances with a cop… HES NOT YOUR FRIEND. PERIOD. HOW STUPID DO CAN YOU POSSIBLY BE? I suppose the same ppl that “back the blue”, are the same ppl you see somewhere trying to be… Read more »

I agree with what you wrote from the third paragraph on down. What experience do you have with tracks? Are you in Texas?

Oh, I get it – RESISTANCE IS FUTILE, so just bend over and take it up the ass , right ?
Too bad the goat f*clerks in Afghanistan and Viet Nam didn’t get the message.

Not to worry, if it comes to what he is talking about we will apply what we have learned from the Big Green Machine … against them.

Order followers willing to commit un-constitutional atrocities for the $$$ under the guise of Justice who obviously don’t have enough discernment or moral compass themselves. Hypocrisy is deafening & shameful. But the enforcers have no shame. If you participate in a untransparent or MOU that is confidential & not accountable to the people or any other activity that is not transparent to We the People then who & what are you supporting tacitly or silently representing & working for ? Those who can make you beLIEve absurdities can also make you commit atrocities. BeLIEf is the death of intelligence. OMICRON… Read more »

Im in a similar situation the detective who is in charge is just trying to bust anybody with a 80% that they are in the business of selling firearms, on top of that they confiscate everything that you legally own then charge with felonys that has nothing to do with a traffic stop. Thats what happen to me

You are talking about the “ghost gun task force” that is working out of the IRS ILLEGALLY INSTALLED ATF/AFT bureaucracy?? This “department” was NEVER authorized by CONGRESS! THUS, it is THEIVERY UNDER THE COLOR OF LAW!!!!!!!

JSNMGC

No. John is sensitive to many of the Ammoland posters and did not indicate who the “task force” members were. They are just regular old local cops:

Just doing the same kind of stuff the LAPD has been doing for a long time.

USMC0351Grunt

The San Diego “Ghost Gun” Task Force” limits the jurisdiction to the San Diego City limits.

gregs

conspiracy requires that the owner of the company to have worked with the person or had knowledge of the person selling the firearm to another.
the temp should be the only one who is culpable of a crime, and possibly the task force for entrapment.
which party initiated contact about the sale of the “ghost gun” firearm?
it is illegal to sell an un-serialized firearm.

Finnky

Perhaps under state law, but federal law allows individuals to sell unserialized firearms as long as they are not “engaged in the business.” Not sure whether federal law says anything about FFLs on this topic.

Oh California – where it is illegal to breath wrong or to look in th3 wrong direction. Tyranny at it’s best.

Translation of your comment: “Damn those members of the resistance – they deserve everything they get from the Allgemeine Schutzstaffel and the Gestapo.”

How many of you are there?
