Then explain the raid on Ares Armor in San Diego last year. ATF does what it wants, the same as Obama.
I’ll give you the ATF logic, but do not agree with the ATF policy.
Ares Armor was selling “two tone” resin lower unfinished receivers (80% blanks). The black parts were be left and the colored parts were to be milled out. This showed the citizen who was going to finish the lower receiver EXACTLY what needed to be removed. Apparently, the ATF thought that was too much help to the end user and pushed the receiver beyond the 80%.
Again, their logic, not mine.
“Then explain the raid on Ares Armor in San Diego last year. ATF does what it wants, the same as Obama.”
The ATF went after a firm manufacturing reinforced plastic 80% lowers claiming that a different-colored plastic plug that replicated the area to be milled out had been injected into a finished lower, rather than as the manufacturer claimed the plug had been overmolded with the receiver. The difference is that the manufacturer did not have a “license” to make firearms and that at one point in their process, the ATF claimed that they in fact, had made a firearm ( a 100% lower receiver) that they “turned into an 80% part” in a secondary process. Ares was selling the finished parts and had their inventory confiscated in a raid which was illegal. Both Ares and the manufacturer are suing the ATF and my bet is that they are going to win.
