It is illegal to manufacture, build or print firearms with the intent to sell them without first obtaining a Type 07 Manufacturer’s License, and then the firearms must be serialized. Firearms manufactured for personal use and which have not been serialized are NOT transferable, neither may they be bought legally.
So the guy who manufactured and sold these ghost guns committed at least two crimes and the mayor’s agent at the buy-back committed at least one.
Yes, but the deal was “No questions asked”
Houston ‘mare’ and PD declared “No questions asked.” Does that get anyone off the hook? Only if you’re a demokkkommie.
He did NOT "sell" them.
He "surrendered" them to law enforcement authorities and was "awarded" a gift card as a "thank-you."
The LEOs promised "No questions asked," so presumably, one could hand in a blood-stained, still-smoking revolver and the LEOs wouldn't be allowed to ask, "Did you just use this firearm to murder someone?"
Regards,
Of course there’s no enumerated power for that federal statute, not any enumerated power for the federal to require any license to be in business or manufacture in general.
He did not sell them. He turned them in to the police for destruction.
Big difference.
The man in Houston had no intention of selling them and they were not sold.
The police do not own or have transferred to them any of the guns at a “buy back.” They are donated guns and the gift cards are donated back.
The police department doesn’t own the guns. They are caretakers until the guns are destroyed.
So the guy who manufactured and sold these ghost guns committed at least two crimes and the mayor’s agent at the buy-back committed at least one.
LOL. So, he 'broke' two separate unconstitutional laws? I think the entire project was brilliant on his part!
