Feds Selling Gun Parts
Second City Cop ^ | 22 Oct 2024 | Second City Cop

Yet another reason to disband entire swaths of federal law enforcement:

The federal government has a long, proud history of arming people who commit violent crimes. Sometimes it’s intentional as it was during the Obama era Fast and Furious program when the ATF shipped weapons to the Mexican cartels. Sometimes it’s due to basic stupidity and negligence as it was when a BLM ranger left his gun in his car in San Francisco where it was stolen. It was later used to murder Kate Steinle...

It seems that parts from a number of their retired duty weapons — firearms that were supposed to have been destroyed — have later turned up in “ghost guns.”

Civilian Marksmanship program has been selling used government guns for years. They have a nice selection of rifles and government 1911s for sale.

Maybe it’s time for all of the Dems to get guns, so they can launch a crusade to kill everyone who owns a gun or gun part - no, wait...

They should have sold those guns or parts and used the money for the public good.

These guns and their parts should be sold for general use.

A 1958 dollar would be valued at $10.91. Still, I would like to have a 7mm Remington Rolling Block for $130.

I was going to ask the year of that ad but didn’t want to be a pain. It sure makes you want to dream though.

“It seems that parts from a number of their retired duty weapons — firearms that were supposed to have been destroyed — have later turned up in “ghost guns.” “

“Parts is parts.

Actually, Parts is gold! is the better phrase.
For those of us looking to build or repair weapons, parts from “chopped up” guns sometimes is the only way to get a needed spring, pin, plate, slide, handle, sight, etc., and if some minor welding or milling can be done, even a chopped up receiver or barrel can be repaired or used. Now, NFA and other firearms laws are still in play, with “receivers” constituting a firearm and having to be sold through an FFL dealer with background check, etc., hence the reason “80%” receivers are sold, as they are not full receivers and don’t have to go through an FFL holder, at least until BATFE gets its way. As I understand it, and speaking for a friend, of course.
