Re read this thread, again.
I think that the key point is being missed.
It does not matter what the law/rulings state, not even a little, when it comes to your interaction with the government. If cops/atf/Borg come to your house and they want you, they will get you. Why do you think federal conviction rates are so high? Because they stack charges and then politely ask if you will plead to a lesser offence.
You cannot win.
You have an ATF letter? Cool. When you go to trial in 5 years and $200,000 later, be sure to show the judge. And if you raise too much of a stink, they'll find that you passed a Canadian quarter at a kiosk and get you on illegal currency trading.
The moment you are in the system you are being punished. If they want you, they will get you.
