Ah, the Web is abuzz with\u00a0 Customs and Border Protection’s (CBP) announcement that they have seized TEN SHIPMENTS of scary gun parts used to build gunz! from overseas shippers which were sent to private individuals instead of a licensed importer. The star of the show is apparently as pictured above.<\/p>\n

There were 10 shipments from Israel and Spain<\/a>, containing 56 types of gun parts and accessories including grips, sights, swivels, slings, rifle stocks and conversion kits, according to the agency.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Fox News<\/a><\/p>\n

The\u00a0Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF)<\/a>\u00a0regulates and restricts firearms and ammunition. Importation of weapons or ammunition must be made by a licensed importer, dealer, or manufacturer. Both shipments were manifested as conversion kits. Additionally, the importer does not appear to be a federal firearms licensed firearms manufacturer or dealer therefore no registration of being an importer exists. The items were seized on behalf of ATF for not having the required permits, and because these import permit requirements were not met, the gun parts were seized.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

“Grips, sights, swivels, slings, rifle stocks and conversion kits”. One small problem with this – none of these are firearms. They are PARTS, available over the counter at most any local gun store. Not even scary high-capacity magazines (they would probably come from Italy.) That scary looking gun in the picture above? That’s a folding buttstock, which without the other gun bits and bobs is probably less dangerous than one of those mini-bats they used to sell at baseball parks.\u00a0 The rest are simply gun accessories. Prove it to yourself – try sticking up the local bank with a swivel. Unless you’re a pretty girl and that swivel is in your hips, brother, you ain’t getting anywhere. (I just know Jeff LPH is flashing back to ‘Chantilly Lace’ about now.) Or try knocking off the local liquor store with a sling.<\/p>\n

Remember when the ATF under Trump classified gun PARTS as possibly being guns in the bump-stock decision? Well, now you are seeing the results, and in a regulatory-happy bureaucracy, it ain’t gonna get any better. Some sorry SOB no doubt thought he could bypass the middle man and order straight from a manufacturer overseas instead of locally. Be interesting to see what the eventual charges are.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
