We haven’t talked much about the CRS Firearms channel and the AutoKey Card situation, and it’s high time we did. A fellow named Matthew Hoover started out on YouTube as a Type 7 FFL holder under the handle CRS Firearms. Another fellow named Kristopher Ervin started making “key cards” with outlines for an AR-15 lightning link on them. He then sponsored the CRS Firearms channel advertising the cards as pen holders and bottle openers.
While Hoover reportedly got ATF permission for the cards, the firearm regulator eventually changed its tune, seized the autokeycard.com website, arrested the two men in 2021, and prosecuted them for transferring unregistered machineguns and money laundering.
