This isn't a stunt, this is harmless. Only those with Stockholm Syndrome w/r/t the regulators see this as anything other than harmless. (Regrettably, this may include prosecutors.)

But seriously, this just ain't a big fuckin' deal.

While the stunt is illegal (in many ways) and there was a likelihood of getting into serious trouble I'd say the "big fuckin' deal" is bragging about it with the plan to get lots of attention on HN. That's even more reckless than the actual stunt.

This isn't harmless. It puts them at risk of expensive legal prosecution if the ATF decides to pursue this matter.
