I happen to agree with William Shakespeare's statement regarding lawyers!!
Mysterious disembodied voice after the ruling: “Oh? Take away my gun rights, eh? I’ll be seeing you.” 👻
At least Alito and Thomas don’t have their heads up their rears.
Seriously, how does this help reduce gun crime? It doesn’t. Criminals usually get their weapons by theft. All this does is increase bureaucracy and inconvenience law abiding gun owners.
We need to have a constitutional amendment that any judge who doesn’t understand the words “Shall not be infringed” should automatically be disbarred.
Because we decided the exact opposite in 1776. The judges who voted for this can be deported back to England.
The following is the beginning of a manual put out by the Army in 1969, TM 301-210 Improvised Munitions Handbook
Pipe Pistol for 9mm ammunition.
1/4” steel pipe 4-6 inches long with threaded ends.
1/4” Solid Pipe Plug
2 Steel Pipe Couplings
Metal Strap roughly 1/8” x 1/4” x 5”
flat head nail 6d or 8d
2 wood screws
wood 8” x 5” x 1”
Drill
1/4” wood or metal rod approx 8 inches long
Then it gives detailed instructions on assembly.
Will Lowes and Home Depopt start demanding Baqckground check to buy small steel pipe??
The next page gives the same detailed instructions to build a 12 gauge shotgun in the same way.
Tower, Charleville, home-made and custom gunsmith’s rifles from our first American Revolutionary War ALL had serial numbers on them so the Crown could tax them and know who bought them, right?
Right?
I can understand the ruling as it pertains to kits that are assemble, and shoot, but the label ghost gun is typically slapped on those 80% AR15 lowers. wonder if those will be impacted by this.

If the justices think that it is so easy to complete unfinished frames, receivers, 80% lowers or whatever you want to refer to them as and assemble a “gun kit” and actually put it all together and head out to the range... The justices should try it for themselves before wasting time arguing about it. My guess is that they would find that there is a lot more to this than just “drilling a hole or two.
There are lots of videos on YouTube that show someone installing new gaskets in their intake manifold or head(s) or tearing down and fixing a transmission that make it look very easy. But the reality is that it takes time, patience, knowledge and experience along with the proper tools.
I have all sorts of friends and acquaintances who have purchased so called “80% kits”. For some reason the vast majority never actually finish them and use them in a real gun. Why is that? Because there is quite a bit more to it than what Roberts believes.
The Judicial Branch is trashing America and this is all they could find to do? Time for DOGE to defund the SCOTUS. It’s worthless to Americans. Fraud, Waste and Abuse. We’ve got the foreign district “judges” making the laws now. They have more authority than SCOTUS. Biden told them through their translators that they did when he hired them.
The court creates so much of the utter contempt for the law in today’s society
It’s disgusting !
According to a number of TV shows, ghost buns are mass produced and sold to criminals all the time.

Damn that AI crap.
“Perhaps a half hour of work is required before anyone can fire a shot,” Gorsuch wrote.”
Before I lost them in a boating accident, I built 2 AR lowers from blanks. I didn’t use any patterns other than my own, no milling machine, and none of the available (at the time) metal drilling templates either. Each one of those lowers took approximately 2 weeks to complete.
If I had it to do over, I’d just buy the finished lower for less than a $100 and be done with it.
This is akin to them deeming a chip of metal a machine gun. Give me a break.
The lower courts are now going to feel fully empowered to ignore Bruen. Serial numbers required to purchase a gun in 1792? Not even close. A six to three conservative majority on the Supreme Court should do better than this.
