One of my kids pointed a receiver at me, I yelled at him and pretended to try and kick his ass for pointing a gun at me

so why is this news? what is the big deal?

From the article:
the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) recommends... Stopped right there. ATF recommendations would be the same as KGB recommendations.

My late father in law was a policeman and then later a detective in Washington County,PA. He told me that all the guns that were confiscated were taken to the Allenport steel mill and thrown in the fires there. He also said he kept only one gun,that was a 45 pistol because he had one in WW2. He was an Island Hopper in the Marines.

Leftist imbeciles want to punish the firearms, but not the criminals who misused them. So by all means tie the guilty weapons to the whipping post for a good flogging, give them some counselling, then sell them intact.
Destroying firearms with residual value is idiotic. Stripping and selling parts helps offset the costs of disposal. Not sure who would find this problematic.

That’s where I grew up and live, now.

This is some leftist BS story, like when they claim 5 guns and a thousand rounds is an “arsenal”.
The ATF recommends (or straight out lies about) a lot of things that are not legally required. People simply comply because they are afraid and do not know their rights. This story should have been quashed when the reporter learned there is nothing illegal about selling unregulated gun parts. Well, unless of course there is a leftist agenda at play.
Another example of ATF “recommended” actions are notifying them of an intrastate move if you have SBRs. Nothing legally requires you to tell the ATF you’ve moved to a different address in the same state if you have an SBR. But their Form 4 wording is carefully chosen to imply such an obligation. The ATF doesn’t enforce law, they make crap up and try to trick people into waiving their rights.

Bingo!
The receiver is the gun....according to the ATF.

I have to agree. The receiver is the gun. The rest is just parts.
To: algore
I love it. Make stupid law that treats one part as “the gun” trying to quash gun ownership; live with the consequences thereof.

Modern 3D printers take care of the "gun" part...
I read about it online somewhere. Seems you can print a lower and then order the upper and trigger "parts" kits. I suppose that will be illegal someday, too.

Yes, they use the legally-ambiguous term, “shall inform.”

I live close enough to Dallas to get local Dallas news networks, and when I saw the promo for this report I laughed out loud.
