He said the way the ATF defines manufacturing is putting two parts of a firearm together. He said he recently had to close out his FFL due to moving into Lino Lakes and needing to conform to the laws in our City.

Mr. Mattioli stated it would not. Mr. Root also expressed concern over the storage of ammunition material. Mr. Mattioli assured there were ATF requirements for storage. Mr. Root summarized there were concerns regarding the ammunition and explosives. Ms. Guthmueller wanted to know about ATF licensing and what he is looking to do. Mr. Mattioli said he would like to open a shop that manufactures firearms. He is looking to design and manufacture a better process for producing firearms. He said his work is currently done on a computer and the manufacturing of the firing components is done offsite through a third party. They are sent back to Mr. Mattioli where he puts them together and sells them and the process is regulated by the ATF with inspections. Ms. Guthmueller questioned the number of sales he has done. Mr. Mattioli said he has sold two because he is mostly into manufacturer researching and getting the parts sent to him. He said with the parts he is receiving he is testing them to see if they fit properly. If they do not, they are destroyed, and he goes back to the drawing board to redesign.
