NBC News ran a segment during their Nightly News program last week that incorrectly said criminals can legally manufacture guns for their own personal use.

"This is a real gun and anyone can buy it, no background check required," Jeff Rossen, NBC News national investigative correspondent, said as the segment opened. "It's perfectly legal."

That’s what’s called a ghost gun. No serial number. As long as it is not for resale and remains in the possession of the builder it’s legal.

And I’ll bet you didn’t know you could order the kits for making these for free online. Just pay the shipping and handling. I’m waiting for the upgrade that fires exploding bullets with the death-ray attachment.

Unless you live in New York State under the SAFE Act, then as soon as you finish it, it’s illegal.
