Talked to a fraternity brother of mine who is a lawyer. Extremely hard to sue the government under such circumstances.

It was the subsequent civilian owners who acted in an "unreasonable manner" by deliberately using said equipment in a manner proscribed. Therefore, all legal responsibility and liability rests on the civilian owner. Also would not likely result in suspension of sales.

Re: Mutt being confiscated
I do know of one occasion
A yard in the watertown NY area bough quite a few m151<s to demill
He he scrapped out quite a few and saved a few The nice low mileage ones.
He decided to sell a few uncut and had an auction . The feds found out and shut it down pressed charges etc. I believe they either took them back or had them demilled.
That was in Adams ny

I think the M may stand for Mel as in Mel Tillis.

Re: Mutt being confiscated
Legend has it that a guy in Missouri went to jail for buying Mutts and not demiling them all. For a few hundred bucks extra you could buy one that he forgot to cut. The inspector found out because he was driving along I-70 and saw a farmer driving a Mutt through his field.
I'd say your Mutt is more likely to be stolen by some hoodlum on the street than to be taken by the government. (On the other hand, rumor has it that "the government is coming for us all!")

Re: Mutt being confiscated
With Guy's ongoing efforts how could anyone prove your MUTT wasn't cut?

Re: Mutt being confiscated
They better bring a big trailer and an attitude.
Re: Mutt being confiscated
All they would have to bring to your place is several big trailers and a promise to your wife that they will clean up! I guarantee you fear her more than them.
