NBC News is using the November 14 Rancho Tehama school shooting to whip up fear about guns that are already illegal in the state of California. Their report revolves around “ghost guns,” which they present as something that can be purchased and assembled in just “a couple of hours.” Their report omits the hours of milling required to complete a lower frame before assembly can happen and, more importantly, they completely omit that gun laws in California require that any homemade gun be affixed with a serial number and entered into the state’s gun registry (like any other gun).
Yes, they mention that Rancho Tehama gunman Kevin Neal’s long guns are already banned by the “assault weapons” law in the state of California, but this admission is sandwiched between descriptions of rifles “with multi-round magazines” and intimations that “ghost gun” legislation needs to be taken up at the federal level. They point to the “loophole on so-called ‘ghost guns'” and assure readers that Sen. Chuck Schumer (D- New York) wants to take action.

Especially the automatic assault rapid fire muskets, or even just the one's with bump stocks.
Ra ra, save the chillins...
Better get a Puckle gun before they’re outlawed!!!
Investigative Reporting at it’s best
They need to ban those scary AK-15’s!
“they completely omit that gun laws in California require that any homemade gun be affixed with a serial number and entered into the state’s gun registry (like any other gun).”
I just wonder how that’s going and how they even know if there is any significant compliance. Actually as I recall, to avoid ex post facto, the new requirement applies to all “personally built” rifles assembled after a certain date. As it is, CA is now registering rifles and shotguns, but so far as I know you are not required to register rifles purchased before a certain date, the exception being rifles with “three evil features.”
Democrats hate the Second Amendment.... and the First Amendment.
The First Amendment is standing in the way of Democrats getting rid of the 2nd Amendment.
This has been the way it’s been in America for the past 50 years or more.
Democrats need everyone Guns to turn the USA Communist.
Democrats need to lock up everyone who disagrees or they will not be able to get the Guns.
Currently in free states you can build a gun on an 80% frame and complete it yourself.
They want to make that illegal.
In California it is required to serial number and register the gun, the killer was already in violation of multiple laws.
More laws will be just as successful.
I don't address my current status regarding puckle guns on open forums.
...well, okay, I don't actually have one...
I had not heard of these. Thanks.
Meaning chuckie wants to grand stand for the cameras.
Again, the usual: blame the gun, not the criminal person.
WTH is a ‘Ghost Gun’?........................
Built on 80% receiver, no serial number, no paper trail.
Then it’s just a home made gun....................
Yes, finish the milling on the receiver, add store bought upper, stock, trigger group, etc. and you have rifle no one knows about and you can’t legally sell.
I can’t believe that Crazy Gabby and that schmuck she shacks up with think “we need to give muzzleloaders another look.” I was always good with muzzleloaders but I never could pump out 70,000 balls a second.
The government let a homocidal maniac on the loose. They are the ones we need to be worried about!!!!
They desperately need a new law. The new should be directed at making it against the law to break the law. That’ll fix it.
I'm sure that would go well.
