Giffords group asks web hosts to shut down 'ghost gun' sites
Associated Press ^ | Nov 24, 2017 6:43 PM EST | Michael Balsamo

A gun control group founded by former U.S. Rep. Gabby Giffords asked two web hosting companies on Friday to shut down websites selling parts and machines that help make untraceable homemade firearms known as “ghost guns.”

The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence asked the providers that host GhostGunner.net and GhostGuns.com to disable the websites for violating the hosting companies’ terms of service.

The sites sell kits, components and machines that help create homemade semi-automatic weapons. It’s legal to build a gun in a home or a workshop, and advances in 3-D printing and milling have made it easier to do so. The kits can be purchased legally for a few hundred dollars without the kind of background check required for traditional gun purchases.

Attorneys for the gun control advocacy group said the homemade weapons are increasingly being used in crimes and asked each of the companies to “invoke its policies to help stem the tide of this illegal, deadly behavior.” …

my neighbor just ordered 5 more kits, after reading this Gifford BS request

people are really stocking up on these kits!
the fear is still out there that somebody like the Mueller lawyers or ? will figure out how to replace DJT and create a civil war? there’s a lot of fear out there, a lot!

i personally think the threats are just designed to reduce DJT’s effectiveness in office and maybe slow down his MAGA effort to repair Obama’s damage to our country. but yes many MANY people still fear Mueller’s far-leftist stable of lawyers....going after DJT instead of HilLIARy and Soroz and Obama? What’s THAT all about, for heaven’s sake!? !

my neighbor says several of the largest websites, too, are having big sales today on kits (both pistols and rifles)

save a lot of money buy this Black Friday weekend, the prices are at or near their lowest .... doubtful anyone will be able to save very much by waiting, a little perhaps? i doubt its worth waiting, for maybe ten bucks maybe or maybe not ... on a $2 or $300 kit, not worth waiting when you can get them today

The gun grabbers continue their fake concern about guns. If they wanted to actually stop gun deaths, they would go after the people doing the killing and not the object they are using. They take the crimes of the few to oppress the many.

Gun control is all about control of the people. They want peasants, not citizens.

“Attorneys for the gun control advocacy group said the homemade weapons are increasingly being used in crimes...”

So...it won’t be too hard to substantiate that bogus claim, right?

Seriously, folks. Follow this failed logic. They bar 80% lowers for the AR platform, and what’s next? Steel and aluminum billet stock will be verboten, as well?

The stupidity of the left knows no bounds.

Now they are trying to outlaw Human Ingenuity.

That will work as well as outlawing Evil.

Seems to me their goal is to legalize evil. Especially at the highest levels of leadership. Hence the perceived need to outlaw the instruments that would punish that evil, except of course for themselves.

Half a dozen people who knew the kid said he was weird...ke scary weird. I don't think we were ever told if he had been in therapy or on meds.

It seems like it went underground.

Granted, the guy in Las Vegas didn’t do us any favors...

And with the leftists all it takes is one that they can trot out whenever they need to bolster their losing arguments.

Look at the way they still use Timothy McVeigh as a foil for the many, many muslim terrorist attacks.

Yes, that's true. See it isn't just the followers of Islam. Why a Christian,... yada yada yada. No dedicated Christian bombs anyone, unless during a time of war.
