As much as he might have deserved a dirt-nap, it’s good to get this crazy put out there for public consumption.

Release Audrey’s manifesto.

How to tell everyone that you’re a fed glowboy doing glowboyops without saying it outright.

Unserialized guns built from unfinished...<80% receivers...for personal use. Perfectly legal, as long as you don’t transfer them to others Or use them in crimes.

They’re currently a favorite bete noire of the gun grabbers. Biden’s gonna soil himself with glee.

[Cowgirl of Justice]

It was a transgender not a crossdresser.

They are trying to make everyone forget the last 10 or so mass shooters were trans.

[Sicvee]

He’s not transgender! He’s just a cross-dresser!

Psyops false flag ping.

A "ghost gun" does not have a serial number, per the ATF.

The ATF requires that a serial number be stamped on the receiver of all manufactured, complete guns. However, if you buy an "80%" receiver, one that has not been completely finished, mill out the area the trigger mechanism fits in, drill a couple of holes for the trigger pin, and then assemble the lower to an upper, which has the barrel and bolt carrier group, you have an Armalite-15. You buy all the parts separately, and presto, you have a functional rifle.

It is a "ghost" since there is no paper trail, the kind that the ATF is supposed to destroy after 3 months, that is being kept for 5 years and counting, since the ATF has been having "trouble" entering all the information from their copy of the 4473 for their data base.

AR style and select Glocks are the most popular, since the reivers are made out of aluminum, but you can also build a Colt M1911, among others.

Guns are not magic. You can build one with a moderately equipped machine shop and a little basic knowledge.

However, doesn't "ghost gun" sound creepy?

I now what they are, I’m just surprised this nut job claims that what he/it had.

[MileHi]

I understand what they are, just question this nut job claiming that’s what he/it had.

"The motive for the shooting was not known . . . "

I guess it wasn't that black dog belonging to his neighbor, "Sam." So the motive was those lead shots that told him to give them a shot.

[MileHi]

And if they were “ghost guns” who finished/assembled them?

[gundog]

Apparently he’s a felon. Couldn’t buy through an FFL. I gather he’s a programmer, and apart from being nuts, pretty bright. Kudos for not having stolen guns, I guess.

"However, doesn't "ghost gun" sound creepy?"

The name scares me. However, I am growing some ghost peppers and I wonder if they will come after me?

[TLI]

“and was armed with two ghost guns - an AR-15-style rifle and a handgun”

Ghost guns?

I doubt it.

A LOT of work goes into getting them to run and Captan Fag just does not fit the bill for doing that.

After poking around in several different articles there are no discriptions of the weapons or photos.

Looks to me like “ghost gun” got thrown into the headline because of a cool factor for the progs.

I expect there will be more...

Carriker told police that the killing spree was his way of helping police address the gun violence problem because 'all these guys are out there killing people,'

Ain't liberal "logic" grand?

I think you are mistaken about Glock receivers. They are made of polymer and have an imbedded metal serialized plate. The unfinished “ghost gun” receivers have no plate for a serial number.

[NorthMountain]

From just that picture I can’t be 100% certain if it’s a chick or a dude ... but I can be certain that it’s a NEGATIVE Ten on the “hot axis”.

manufactured

I am not a lawyer.

I am given to understand that if one were to complete that 80% receiver, for one's own personal use, and not to sell, then it is not "manufactured" and does not require a serial number.

I am not a lawyer.

[Deplorable American1776]

Ok...lets see, this mentally ill moron shot people because it wanted to prove guns kill people?

My tagline is correct...

Some people belong in mental institutions.

Bring back mental institutions.
