Who is Chyna trying to arm?
LOUISVILLE, Ky—At the Express Consignment Operations hubs in Louisville U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) officers seized a shipment from China that contained over 10,000 Assault Weapons parts being smuggled into the country.
The shipment was seized on May 22. Officers inspected the item, which was arriving from Shenzhen, China, destined for a residence in Melbourne, Florida. The parcel was manifested as containing 100 Steel Pin Samples. This is a common practice of smugglers manifesting the contraband as a harmless or a legitimate commodity in hopes of eluding further examination.
“The importing of any type of munitions is regulated by the ATF,” said Thomas Mahn, Port Director, Louisville. “This smuggler was knowingly trying to avoid detection, however, our officers remain vigilant, ensuring our community is safe.”

Probably cheap sling swivels... Anytime you see "ASSAULT WEAPONS" you know a story is shite.

I zoomed in close on the photo, from the link that was given here a couple of days ago. It looked to me, like the parts were mostly AK magazines and pistol grips and parts like that. Stuff that would be legal to import, if tariffs were paid, and they were cleared through proper channels.
There are several gun manufacturers in Melbourne, Fla. I suspect one of them was trying to rush parts in under the radar, and bypass proper channels, to save time and rush some weapons into a hot sellers market.

They should have placed tracking devices in the boxes/crates and followed them to their destination.

That's odd. I don't remember seeing anything on the local news about it.

Doesn't make any sense. What are the parts? Magazines?
The articles says 10,000 "parts" valued at $129,600 so that's only $12.96 per "part". The pic isn't clear but looks like magazines.

This shipment very likely may have been ordered by the CIA....
“The CIA maintains prepackaged stocks of foreign weapons for instant shipment anywhere in the world....”

China - melt that shite into a giant dick statue and send it straight to Xi.

Well, what if it is a really complicated assault weapon with 10,800 parts?
------------------
Seriously, this seems like another sensational headline that might be a little hyped. How many weapons can be made with these parts? Was each part counted like, screws, barrels, stocks, firing pins, trigger, etc. etc.?
