Govt is going after the low hanging fruit-this time ghost guns

[bushmaster1313]

In law, as in many other endeavors, when faced with resistance the prudent course is to aim to pick off the low hanging fruit.

This is certainly true with gun regulation. Bump stocks, trigger devices, arm braces, these are all items that in and of themselves not too many people (even gun owners) care about.

This go round it seems the anti-gun crowd is going after so-called "ghost guns."

This is certainly low hanging fruit. Unfortunately, it's one more slice of the salami and it provides a wedge issue for elections: "My evil political opponent is so beholden to the gun lobby and the NRA that they could not even support regulation of untraceable guns that are becoming the favorite gun for murder and mayhem"

If it's not registered, it doesn't belong on the streets. Period.

Guns are barely traceable even with serial numbers so this is not going to solve anything. Remember the fast and furious gun walking scandal? They were going to trace guns into Mexico to nail the cartels?

Lets say suddenly gang members can't get guns in the US, you think that's going to stop them from getting them from central and south america? They'll just come in with the flow of drugs.

Another made up term by the gun haters to demonize an inanimate object. Have to name it to hate it. Have to hate it to ban it.

Wash, rinse, repeat. Same ole same ole, time after time.

This must be sarcasm, it's too blatantly misguided to be trolling.

 

[johngalt]

If it's not registered, it doesn't belong on the streets. Period.

None of mine are registered.

 

[Rustyt1953]

None of mine are registered.

Nor any of mine.

If it's not registered, it doesn't belong on the streets. Period.

So, you're a proponent of gun registration?

Wonderful.

There is no such thing as a Ghost Gun

We need to stop repeating the term.

The Democrats are very good at making non-words part of the vocabulary. In the 1990s they made up the phrase High Capacity Magazine and people now accept that

Then they corrupted the Phrase Assault Weapon to include most all Modern Sport Rifles and people now accept that

Ghost Gun must not become part of the Lexicon

Home made Firearms need to be called Home Made Firearms when the Pro 2nd Amendment crowd talks about them

That's not what the law says.

Only problem america ever had was not having enough unregistered firearms all over the streets.

Public schools should have mandatory rifle training in highschool and you get a tax funded ar-15 with your diploma.

I agree. Pretty soon the anti 2A crowd will be referring to any firearm not tied to a 4473 a "ghost gun".

Firearm registration has NOTHING to do with crime control. NOTHING. It has everything to do with CONTROL. You should know that by now.

 

[shocker]

So what's the big deal? You "manufacture" your own gun, you engrave the manufacturer name and a serial number on the receiver, then fill out a form 4473. No different that going to the LGS and buying a commercial gun.

And it's so much easier to take them from us with everything registered.
