The Demon Rat party cannot govern so it is trying to demonize businesses who deal in firearms.

BTW, local Miami media is running the story of this lawsuit by Philadelphia near the top of the news.

Laughable.

I thought there was a law or policy preventing suit against manufacturers?

Can I sue Ford because a woman in an Excursion totaled my car and cost me big in medical bills? No? If a city can arbitrarily sue a weapons’ parts manufacturer for whatever, why not?

Not a disinterested party.

Nope. But they help provide a distraction from the egregious mismanagement of the city by corrupt politicians

Shitty of Philadelphia should spend its resources corralling violent criminals (who get a pass). This is just more Marxist posturing and political theater.

the 80% regulations the ATF enacted just got smacked down by the 5th circuit, and conveniently the shithole of philly starts litigation against the main 80% manufacturers...

Dumb question...

How could there be such a thing as a ghost gun? Wouldn't the ATF just shut down anybody who was selling, for instance, M16 lower receivers without serial numbers??

What needs to be done abolish the egregious National Firearms Act of 1934 then immediately defund the director of the ATF, then 2 days later abolish the ATF moving the rank & file to the US Marshals and or the Secret Service.

Then it’s time to focus on the FBI-CIA-NSA and repurpose their missions.

The alleged activity is not illegal. The Supreme Court just said so. This is harassment.

"City of Philadelphia Sues Primary Distributors of Ghost Guns.

Maybe they should try suing BLM.. But then again, maybe that would make way too much sense for a stinking politician lawyer...

Now we’re at the point where government, having unlimited funding to sue, is attacking private businesses they don’t like and literally causing them to comply or else. If this isn’t tyranny or fascism, I don’t know what it is…

I expect we will see an effort to repeal the 2nd Amendment and maybe tweek the 1st early in 2025.
Especially if they take all three branches again and they probably will.
Joe 81 millionvotes Biden or whomever they decide is a shoo in. House & Senate are probable.

You have the right to make your own gun for your own use. You can’t sell it, but you can use it. The “80%” number is the threshold beyond which a part is considered a completed firearm.

So you can buy a lower receiver that is 80% complete, drill the remaining holes to complete it, and away you go.

You can also 3D print a lower receiver.
