This ARFCOM News segment covers several key firearms-related topics. It begins with an update on New Zealand's Arms Amendment Act of 2019, highlighting low compliance with its gun amnesty program and the police's unusual approach of negotiating with gangs for firearm surrender. The report then delves into the ongoing legal battles surrounding 3D-printed firearm designs, referencing Cody Wilson and Defense Distributed's fight against ITARS. Advancements in 3D-printed materials for ballistic protection are also discussed, along with proposed legislation in Virginia requiring financial institutions to report suspicious firearm transactions. Finally, the segment announces the return of the lightweight polymer AR-15 lower receiver concept, with KE Arms partnering with InRange TV and Brownells to produce an improved version.

Quick Summary

New Zealand's gun amnesty program, part of the Arms Amendment Act 2019, has a low compliance rate, with only 32,000 of an estimated 175,000 restricted firearms turned in. Meanwhile, US firearm sales hit a record 1,171,692 NICS checks last month, and KE Arms is reintroducing improved lightweight polymer AR-15 lower receivers.
