Remember when Bill Clinton outlawed automatic weapons.

The order exempted those in shipment.

There was a shipment of several hundred thousand AK’s on a boat from China that were exempted for a big Clinton donor.

So they flood our country with poison food, inferior cheap crap, drugs and high grade weapons, but Trump raising tariffs on the Chinese is somehow bad. Time to background check the Chinks!

Of all the guns I lost in the canoe accident I think maybe only one was not made in America.

I still remember 1970, when a Tulsa antiques gun shop was raided by the feds because he imported military munitions. Musket Flints for muzzle loaders. FLINTS!

The CBP didn’t say to whom the parts were being shipped, who shipped them,

I just wonder who in the Federal Government they are trying to protect.

Huh? There was 52M parts, with a combined value of more than $378,000...? So about $7.27 per piece? OMG so glad the Feds are on top of this! Such debauchery!

"...arrived in three shipments and had a combined value of more than $378,000..."

I guessing that the figure is not from an estimated total of retail prices. They might have simply stated the Chinese price total, so that might be about x5 for retail. ..."three shipments."

It will be a big flag up for other importers. Most of the AR and AK sights, furniture, buffer parts and other accessory parts by far are made in China, and some of those are popular, expensive brands. We may see a run on quite a few items that many had assumed were made in America.
