The right to make your own gun has always been a part of Second Amendment rights in the United States.

This was never even thought of a problem
for most of our history.

I find the concept of a “ghost gun” to be disingenuous. Ghosts are disembodied spirits of people who have gone on to the next life. Wouldn’t that mean that guns would have to die in order to be reincarnated?

"School Murders in California Done with Homemade Gun"

You don't say!

BAN EVERYTHING!
My children and I watch eagerly to see what the morons will come up next. Some of my favorites: "Math is racist!" and "Ban drive-in windows to save the planet!"

Note tagline.

Congress and state legislatures enact all these crimes about gun registration but now the gun industry is creating a way to just bypass the entire thing by creating a mechanism to manufacture weapons yourself,” Villanueva said.

Nice try to blame the problem on gun industry greed, but where is the profit in people making their own firearms?

In any case, the cause of mass murders is not the weapons. It is the person committing the crime. Addressing the criminals, not the weapons, is the only way to control such crimes.

"Now"? He should try to name some of the US firearm manufacturers that existed in 1776.

Since 2016 all completed firearms in California have been required to have a serial number. It's already against the law there.

The 80% Glock frames aren't made by Glock.

He is an idiot. And a Democrat. But I repeat myself.

Brings a whole new meaning to, “Johnny are you doing your homework?” “Yes ma.”

During WW-II Philippine guerillas used crude slam fire shotguns made out of metal tubing with a rough wooden stock and using a nail as a firing pin. These were turned out in jungle workshops with only rudimentary tools. After the war a more refined version was made and sold in the US.

It’s very telling that the article doesn’t mention the criminal, only the tool the criminal used.

Home made “guns” are nothing new.

In the 1950s the big worry was teenage gangs making “zip” guns. Do a google search.

The world did not come to an end.

At the time you could order guns by mail, or go to most hardware stores or even some department stores. Guns were easily available.

Mass shootings were rare.

You do not solve societal problems by restricting constitutional rights.

Lathes, drill presses and other machine shop tools
to be controlled by or outright banned by
the government. Soon you'll have to apply to some
government stooge for a license to own a set of
screwdrivers. It's for the children you know.

For those who think a new law will prevent home made guns, google “Vietnam handmade guns”, then hit images and see how easy they are to make.

I used to have a photo of a handgun whose frame was hand filed out of a piece of railroad track.

If the Government does not Register Firearms, every Gun is a Ghost Gun.

If they decide to Register Firearms, every Gun will be a Ghost Gun sooner or later.

Have they outlawed Human Ingenuity yet?
