A store that helps clients build their own guns is daring the federal agents to raid their stores for a second time.
The controversial build-it-yourself gun store Ares Armor has once again started selling a questionable piece of equipment without the approval of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF).
Its called an 80 percent lower polymer receiver and you can buy them on Amazon. Federal agents claim the plastic gun part actually qualifies as a fire arm and is therefore illegal to sell. Federal agents raided the four Ares Armor store locations in San Diego County in March and confiscated its supply of 80 percent lower receivers.
“I don’t care what they do, but if they have a problem with it they can come and see me,” said Dimitrios Karras, owner of Ares Armor.”
The business has been praised by gun rights advocates, but gun control activists say the business helps people build guns without having to go through a background check.
“We are in complete compliance of the 1968 Firearms Act, and unless the ATF changers the laws their is nothing they can do about it,” said Karras.
Fox 5 attempted to contact the ATF for comment but has not received a call back.
f**k the ATF and OBOZO
If it is a fire arm…what kind? Lets see it fire something? Stupid…
Looks like he removed the white ‘insert’ about which the remaining plastic was molded. I read the original ATF letter that said it was two-parts and therefore a receiver with an insert. Looks like the new 80% rcvr is molded all at once. I give this guy major credit. As long as they don’t try to scare him, he looks to be in full compliance and fully legal…
Where in the US Contitution or Bill of Rights or any other amendments does it say that gun purchases require a background check?
Always pay with cash for 80% lowers.Ares Armor needs to be careful what they ask for and I emailed them and told them that. There is nothing the ATF like more than to hassle legal gun shops. They think that because they have ATF badge they can intimidate people,…NOT !
If I lived there, I’d buy a bunch of these with cash.
