The stuff could have been stolen, then dumped because they didn’t have a complete gun.
The ATF is sure going to try and make a big deal out of it.

You wouldn’t throw away thousands of dollars of parts and ammo, unless you had a really good reason.

Why is this even a story? It does not appear that any laws are broken unless someone reported this stuff stolen.

Wilson said that since these recovered parts have no serial numbers, piecing together the story behind their origin and destination will be a challenge.
piecing together the story behind their origin and destination will be a challenge complete waste of taxpayer funded resources. (like we didn't know the ATF was a complete waste already)

I expect the city of Austin will now spend taxpayer money putting surveillance cameras at every dumpster location.

Somehow this will be spun into a Mexico/drug gun story.

But I can buy a lower for $150, stripped.
An upper may be worth $300 to $800 for a standard configuration, depending on wether a bolt is included.

Oh 'sheesh'. You're prolly right. I just noticed this was in Austin, TX.
A follow-up headline will be..
'Gun Runners discard rifle parts to make Machine Guns!'
Discarded small caliber ammunition Drug Cartels don't want

However, it is possible that somebody could buy upper receivers in order to help somebody who has lower receivers build a complete firearm. Which is 100% legal!

Sounds like some guy had an agrument with his wife, and when he was at work the b*tch tossed out his ammo and AR-15 parts and accessories. Grounds for divorce!

"I assume they (the media) are trying to terrorize the public."
If the media were doing their job, they would be reporting on the views of the new Supreme Court Justice nominee. A far greater threat to the public than these upper receivers will ever be.

Wouldn't know, never shopped for one.
All I've ever seen advertised for sale as to parts were 'Uppers'.
Don't have an AR-15. Don't like the 'little bullet'.
If I had the extra funds, it'd be an AR-10 (.308)

Reminds me of the classic joke. I got a .357 colt python for my wife the other day. Best trade I ever made.
