“Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Amy Coney Barrett joined the court’s three liberals..”

This is my shocked face.

How many murders were committed in 2022 with ghost guns?

Probably zero.

On second thought, maybe some ghosts got murdered?

Oh yeah! It is just a matter of time. AS soon as they dumb down the Nation a little more. Every year they make progress. What the hell, they make progress every day. It won’t be long now.

Roberts is Compromised- and HATES Trump.

Look how many of the SCOTUS were appointed by Republicans, yet the Vote goes to the Dems.

Barret was a terrible pick.

She's a goody-two-shoes type of girl, and lacks backbone on important issues.

Why the surprise?

We’re no longer a republic.

And the SCOTUS was compromised years ago.

Now it’s just a rubber stamp for Deep State.

Even if Trump is elected, we’ll still have a Deep State controlled bureaucracy, Congress, and SCOTUS to deal with.

Nothing in the constitution that says a firearm has to have a serial number. Why shouldn’t someone make a firearm without government interference?

That needs to be reiterated. This is just SCOTUS letting things proceed through regular channels first. They haven’t really “ruled” on anything yet.

Precisely, my good FRiend.

I wonder what country’s constitution they are basing their decision on.

Hard to trace suggests police will use it as a tool after a crime. In reality, it will be used to pro-actively locate the guns for the registry and eventual seizure.

Hear me out. Has any crime, anywhere, ever been solved by tracing a gun’s serial number? I don’t know of any. In the Hollywood version, a policeman finds a gun near a crime scene, traces the gun, and goes and arrests the person at home. In reality, that never happens, they either have the gun and the perp at the same time or never recover the gun. In the very rare instances where they have a gun and no suspect, a gun trace leads to someone who had their gun stolen or goes nowhere. So I am again: Has any crime, anywhere, ever been solved by tracing a gun’s serial number?

"I am a 2A stalwart. But, as a criminal defense attorney north of Baltimore, I see these ghost guns popping up everywhere."

We should never using leftist propaganda language. They are home-made firearms. Nothing more.

How many of those resulted in a crime being solved?

Per usual, the Amish ruin it for everybody.

The most disturbing thing I see from the 'Amish' is setting Glock "switches" AKA autosears to convert a G17 to full auto. Initially I though it was a BS tale until someone with a Class III license did a Youtube video to show the "switches" and the resultant full-auto capability. The devices are easily installed where the slide-in plate at the rear of the slide captures the firing pin and springs. Under 30 seconds to exchange a "switch" for the retainer plate. The street price is as low as $15.

“ghost guns, referring to firearms that are sold as do-it-yourself kits and are generally hard to trace.”

Despite TV detective shows. It’s unheard of for a crime to be solved by “tracing the gun”. And the one time that was massively successful, it was ATF selling them to the Mexican cartels. That “trace” was designed to “prove” that American gun stores were responsible for the trouble in Mexico.

As for solving street crime in America... unheard of.

You can always count on Roberts and Amy Conehead Barrett.
Cucks...

I never did think she was any good. Never trust a dash woman.
