This SW looks like a fishing expedition.

Instead, why could they not simply take an inventory of the inventory, take photo's, whatever, and then leave to go see if they can make a case? If & only IF the ATF then manages to prosecute some charge against the business a Judge can issue an order for the next steps such as taking away the FFL &/or the inventory. The course of action taken here seems a bit backwards - confiscate the entire inventory first & then go see if there is anything the ATF can build a case on. What happened to innocent until proven guilty?

I own one of their lowers and was considering buying more once I am out of school and working again.
