Haiti is in going through another chapter of its constant turmoil, with the latest being a gang engaging in s prison break that released 4,000 prisoners. Watching the newsclip, I saw this:
Is that a printed lower on the left? Looks like one to me. Gun control is dead worldwide.
And I have little doubt the guns came from the U.S. obtained by straw buyers and then smuggled out. And I am sure the ATF will investigate in its earnest once they finish chasing around whatever high publicity crime scene from other departments they can land on.
Another thing I saw in the video was the gang members having to share ammunition which is a great reminder that you cannot depend on your local store to provide a steady supply if SHTF.
Buy or reload ammo or both. Be the guy the UPS driver hates and chiropractors love.
i had my local ATF agent here 2 weeks ago.. no issues with me. he told me he was involved with an FFL dealer who 2 years ago couldn’t account for 3 firearms.. this year they “lost” 150! some of which showed up at crime scenes in boston..according to him atf is going after stuff like this and leaving little guys like me alone..
At least until September, when they need to get their numbers up for October’s budget negotiations.
Not sure that it’s a 3D printed lower. It looks a lot like an FMK AR1 “Extreme” lower and some sort of Sportsman’s Guide or similar quality 7.5” shorty 7.62×39 upper.

Fair point on all the other commentary. ATF has been playing catchup trying to figure out how to regulate that stuff. That was one of the reasons they started all their BS about what constitutes a receiver. But judging by the “expert” they had on Face The Nation . . . they still don’t know what they’re doing, but they’re gonna try to screw us all over regardless.
I didn’t see it, but heard it was the director of the ATF, not an expert.
It was both. Dattelbach and one of their “eXpErTs” were both on that segment and it was the most painful 20 minutes of idiocy, lying, and gaslighting that I’ve ever endured watching. Supposedly someone found the expert’s LinkedIn profile but it looks like it’s been scrubbed from the interweb.

But, TBH, I’d expect nothing less from that agency.
According to the Chevron decision (soon to be overturned, I hope), he IS the expert.
