"Ghost Guns" and the 2A

[iThinkStuff]

hey y'all

I was wondering what the thoughts were in this forum re: ghost guns and the 2A. This seems to be the latest distraction from a floundering administration looking for good press, and on the whole I think it's not a very practical law to implement.

Fun story for y'all.

My father used to own a trucking company. I worked for him as a trainer about two decades back. Hiring became rather difficult one year due to the economy doing its thing, so we ended up hiring people less qualified. Probably the lowest we went was when we hired a recently released sexual predator. Imagine spending 4-5 hours in a truck with that kinda guy...

Anyway, as you might imagine, if you're stuck in a small place with someone for that long, the conversation ends up going just about anywhere. For some reason it shifted to guns, of which I am a fan. Suddenly his eyes perked up and he says to me, "Hey, man, do you like AK-47s?! I've got a friend that can sell you an AK-47 for cheap! Untraceable, back alley transaction, straight cash, homie! I can hook you up with that or any gun you want!"

This is about the time it dawned on me that this guy, a sexual predator and ex-con, could get his hands on any ole gun he wants whereas the rest of us law abiding citizens tend to obey the law and "follow the process".

Laws against ghost guns won't stop criminals from getting/using ghost guns. They only prevent gun enthusiasts from legally building their own.

It's stupid, just like the Biden Admin. Ghost guns account for how many gun deaths first of all? Less than 1%. It is nonsense.

Second, how are you even going to enforce this? You can't without establishing some sort of gestapo like presence.

Third, Biden idiotically keeps talking about hunting as if the 2A has anything to do with hunting, it doesn't.

Fourth, he continues to lie when he says you couldn't buy a cannon when the 2A was penned, you most certainly could.

Agree on all points - which beggars the question: what's really the point of this latest PR stunt? What's the long term goal, if any?

Going into Mid-Terms they need it to look like they have accomplished something that will charge their base.

I know a guy that showed me his 3d printed firearm. No serial numbers, nothing, just a cash transaction for plastic. Apparently it's a "ghost gun". Ooooh, soo scaaary.

I know a couple others that converted some of their freedom dispensers to full auto. So far none of these guns, including the oh-so-scary ghost gun, have gone on shooting rampages. Although I expect the full auto folk are regretting it now with the ammunition shortage.
