I don’t understand.. aren’t receivers treated as if they were guns?
My understanding is that you can’t build a gun as described.
Unless the machine shop was manufacturing the receivers themselves.
It’s an 80% receiver in “as-cast” condition that has machining remaining to turn it into a functional receiver. Current law allows someone to do this for themselves but it is not for sale or transfer.
Yes, and the left makes gun laws that do nothing to stop this, while harassing non-violent honest citizens.
I’d like to get an 80% lower, but it seems silly to buy it on the internet with a credit card.
When they are selling batches of 100, they aren’t ‘customizing their firearm’.
And when one sells to someone who is stating that they want to break the law, one is too stupid to own guns.
CA to ban self made ghost guns that don’t exist.
California’s Bans of;
Plastic bags...
Extra Tax on cigarettes,
Gasoline and
Regulations on
Ammo.
Ain’t Skeered of no Ghoust gun.
Pot and illegals are ...
Well...
Cali is messed up.
If it is illegal for someone to possess a firearm then it is illegal for them to buy/build/steal one. Making the building process tougher, more expensive, or downright illegal isn't going to stop the criminal already determined to break numerous other laws. But it will further the gun control agenda. That's what this is really about - control.
“When they are selling batches of 100, they aren’t ‘customizing their firearm’.”
When I made that statement, my intent was to compare the typical purchaser of the 80% receiver who wants a DIY project being the primary market with those being targeted by for this enforcement push. The article’s theme is to paint all purchasers as those selling un-numbered rifles illegally. IOW, trying to do the usual smear of all gun owners with the acts of lawbreakers.
Absolutely. Check out cncguns.com and ghostgunner.net.
The answer to this menace to society is to ban machine shops.
You have a good message, but you need to pick your poster boys more carefully.
Or Ghost Presidents. Oh wait
“Hope Lon Horiuchi stays away.”
I wonder how his conscience is doing these days.
That’s pretty much my understanding. A customer of mine — a precision tool & die outfit — had a customer with Remmington. The manufacturing area had to be physically separate from the rest of the operation and every component was serialized with full traceability. Federal requirement.
My guess is that MSN doesn’t understand the Law, and easily fell for a false story, repeating it to their own embarrassment.
That son of a b!tch should be in jail serving a life sentence. If he had shot an Iraqi woman holding a baby, that’s exactly what would have happened to him. But he shot a “right wing extremist” and got away with it.
Youre 100% correct. It may cripple our economy, but if it saves even one life it will be worth it...
;-)
It’s a shame the Wall Street Journal is wiling to publish this crap.
Ghost guns appear to be most prevalent in California,
where there are restrictions on assault weapons that make it difficult to buy guns that are available in other states.
Bingo!!
