Just saw an interveiw on tv about the AWB and Fienstien(or what ever her name is)said that someone stopped a shipment of AK's ,8000 of them,in Italy bound for a gun store in Georgia and they would be sold if the AWB was left to die.Now I thought that those foreign made rifles like that could not be imported because of another earlier law.I thought if they were assembled here with a USA receiver then it was ok even if it had other forein parts.I am confused and wished that if this was the case that it had been corrected before they got off the air.Thanks.

You are assuming that Feinstien wouldn't LIE to further her own agenda, and further assuming the media wouldn't capitulate that lie to help her.

She does and they will.

The complete rifles cannot be imported due to the 89 import ban signed by GHWB.

And that's everything that needed to be said.

Quoted:
That was a completely legal shipment of guns for Century firearms. I believe that the guns have to be taken to a bonded, secure warehouse, where the receivers are torch cut according to ATF rules and the remaining parts are salvaged then rebuilt with US receivers and enough other US parts to comply with the law.

That's the gist of it.
