NBC News Incorrectly Says Criminals Can Legally Manufacture Their Own Guns
Washington Free Bacon ^ | 02/15/2017 | Stephen Gutowski

NBC News ran a segment during their Nightly News program last week that incorrectly said criminals can legally manufacture guns for their own personal use.

"This is a real gun and anyone can buy it, no background check required," Jeff Rossen, NBC News national investigative correspondent, said as the segment opened. "It's perfectly legal."

If it’s black powder and they get court permission, it’s legal.

OH MY GOSH...are you kidding me???

ANYONE who has purchased a gun, knows gun laws, and knows how you have to jump through hoops to get one...and a concealed license is even harder to get...

Duh!!! Well it is ‘fake news’ NBC, can’t expect any thing other than first grade level information from them...

Notice the ATF comments that “it would be illegal for a felon to own a firearm”. It is far easier for a felon to buy a gun off the street than order a ‘ghost gun’. Survivalists, etc are the primary buyers of these firearms.

Well, actually, they can do anything they want to do because ............................they’re criminals.

Only law abiding citizens obey laws which is why laws should be kept to a minimum.

Watch this video...

1) it’s illegal for felons to possess firearms, whether they manufactured them or not. Once the PRC-80 departs the 80% point as defined by the BATF, they are committing a crime. As an 80% it has no value beyond as a paperweight.

2) The twit has a retired BATF agent do the work for him because he doesn;t know which end of the screwdriver to turn.

3) watch this pussy jump and cower when the weapon is discharged. Not only that... he’s too far up on the firing line.

Manufactured garbage from Nothing But Crap (NBC) News.

I think there was something about someone getting off the hook for the “manufacturing” charge but not “possession”. Technicality.

They can also buy a receiver flat, bend it and rivet an AKM together or maybe just go and buy one on the black market, maybe one of the soetoro/holder F&F guns.

Stoopid NBC. Yes, criminals can make their own guns - but it illegal for them to do so. They can go to the store and buy ammunition - but it is illegal for them to do so. They can buy a gun out of the trunk of a car in a dark alley - but it illegal for them to do so.

Your point?

I can remember back in the 1990s reading about how gun prohibitionists were claiming that criminals were easily able to convert semi automatic rifles into fully automatic ones and that this was a widespread occurrence. However, it proved to be “fake news”, so to speak, as doing something like that would require the services of a very skilled and experienced gunsmith and that conversion from semi to fully auto would be a criminal offence both in Canada and the United States.

This is not as stupid as it seems. Under the Federal Firearms Act of 1968 a person can, manufacture for his own use, a firearm and that is legal. It is not legal for felons to possess a firearm, but many criminals are not yet felons.

Does one have to be a complete, ignorant idiot to become a reporter?

Pretty much, it helps if you also are filled with hate for conservatives.
