The owner of a California gun parts store says he plans to
take legal action after federal agents raided his business, confiscating computers,
customer lists and 80 percent lower receivers as part of an investigation into
alleged federal firearms violations.
Dimitrios Karras, owner of Ares
Armor in National City, told Fox5SanDiego.com the raid by Bureau of Alcohol,
Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives agents took place just days after the company
obtained a temporary restraining order against the agency.
“There were women and children
inside our retail establishment when the (ATF) agents came in with guns drawn,”
Karras told the station. "They came into our firearms manufacturing
facility saying, ‘Arms up!’ like they were invading Iraq.”
The ATF says their investigation
into Ares Armor stems from the sale of a new plastic version of the 80 percent
lower receiver, which can be used to build AR-15 rifles, according to the
report.
Although certain receivers may be sold and purchased
legally, the agency claims the company was selling receivers manufactured
differently with two parts, making them illegal to sell.
