Ghost Guns

I heard a version of this story on the radio this morning while I drove to work.

Law enforcement struggling to combat unregulated, DIY "ghost guns" - CBS News

You mean to tell me that people have personal possessions that the government has no record of? Must be there is still a free America out there somewhere.

You'll need a permit to buy a lathe.

Why do you think some cnc lathes have GPS built into them and if you so much as move them an inch they alarm out and someone has to come and reset it so you can use it again.

I understand the premise of keeping them out of the hands of terrorists but it makes it hard to resell them within the country among other issues like changing the layout of your shop.

and then they are even Cheaper and more plentiful!

My question is what are they combating exactly? Firstly it's legal for a citizen to build a firearm for personal use. Then you have to refine that to it's legal for an unrestricted citizen to build a firearm for personal use. That widdles down the pool greatly. Then you have to think that the average gang banger/thug is way too stupid to successfully build one. So now you are left with criminals that are just smart enough to build one. Now out of that very small pool how many are using them to commit crimes? That pool is extremely small. It's all about control. That's it. Nothing more. #powerhungry

This is 100% correct all they want is control. They can't control an armed population.

I’m guessing guns acquired through illegal means whether it be theft or the black market are a much bigger problem. While it isn’t difficult to finish an 80% firearm, it does take a bit of effort and not fucking it up. Considering how many in the general population can’t change a tire or other basic mechanical tasks I question how many people could properly assemble a firearm much less finish an 80%. I could be wrong though.

 

[96coal449]

They probably have some smart enough to field strip and assemble. Those are their armorers.

Some news program did a thing on Ghost Glocks the other day.
Made it look like they're easy to do and that everyons does it.
An hour with a dremel and you're good to go.

'Bangers are not going to do this. Much easier ways for them to get a gun.

I'm waiting for BANGERS to figure out how to hold a handgun properly.

Here's bettin', in reality, they don't even know how to wipe their ass.

The shadetree ghost gun maker.

Their grip is fine, they were just waiting for someone to develop the proper sights. And VOILA..!!!

Oh for chris-sakes.

 

[Cooolone]

LMAO...

Ghost guns huh? Does thatbinvlude all those guns made and circulated "before" they tracked them?

Is why I laugh when the estimates of how many guns exist are published... They're not even close!

If they could make them in the Warsaw Ghettos out of gas pipes and such... You'd know you don't need lathes either. It's just more of the pussification of America! A collective castration!
