“The kits can be purchased legally for a few hundred dollars without the kind of background check required for traditional gun purchases.
Attorneys for the gun control advocacy group said the homemade weapons are increasingly being used in crimes and asked each of the companies to “invoke its policies to help stem the tide of this illegal, deadly behavior.” …”
So which is it? First paragraph says “purchased legally,” second paragraph, “ this illegal, deadly behavior..”
The Federal Firearms Act of 1968 is very specific as to the legality of making yourself a gun for your personal use. Everyone should avail themselves of the ability to make themselves a rifle or pistol.
The attorneys use weasel language, or at least the AP does, “increasingly used in crimes”. No evidence provided; of course, they don’t have to show you any steenkeeng evidence.
Yes, they do seem confused in this one.
