    NRA Board Member and head of the New York State Rifle & Pistol Association Tom King, speaking out against our ability to legally make firearms for our personal collections and use.

    “These '80 percent' guns are providing a way for prohibited people to buy a firearm,” Tom King of the NYSRPA said

    The head of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association said the sale of ghost guns is a growing problem.

    “These '80 percent' guns are providing a way for prohibited people to buy a firearm,” Tom King of the NYSRPA said, referring to people who don’t have a gun permit or are otherwise prohibited from possessing a gun.

    He said self-assembled guns provide a way for competition shooters to make a custom-fitted firearm. Such weapons should have serial numbers and be registered — and any new legislation should consider such a provision, he said. But it appears increasingly, King said, people trying to evade the law are the ones buying and selling self-assembled weapons.

    “It appears what was meant to be something for competitive shooters and serious shooters to build their own unique firearm may be turning into a criminal enterprise,” King said.

    Time for a new board as well as a replacement for Wayne LaPierre.

    NRA is picking a really bad time to self-destruct. Unless the Coup has infiltrated that organisation too.

    Illegal is illegal.

    I don't see the difference if you are a PROHIBITED person it shouldn't matter HOW you've obtained and/or possess a firearm. Also shouldn't matter what firearm it is you are in possession or illegal ownership of.

    This is akin to fighting opioid addiction by making heroin "super-doooper-double eagle" illegal instead of just the plain old illegal it already is.

    Point is, as always, this will ONLY really effect lawful owners/users.

    Exactly, and I'd venture to guess it's easier and cheaper to buy one off the street than for a criminal to build one themselves.

    Looking forward to the "We nEeD tHe nRa" crowd pulling off the mental Gymnastics to justify this statement as "Not actually anti-2a"

    The "Swamp" is in the NRA , where the hell they finding those knuckle-Draggers ?

    The Deep State has been incubating sleepers for a generation.

    For those of a less paranoid bent, Fudds have always been given a boost by the anti-2A faction, so they could give lip service to the idea that some guns are OK. Until they get rid of the rest, of course.

    It's not surprising that folks with this mindset have made it onto the NRA board; not too many years ago the "2A protects Hunters" concept was pretty widespread. Some of those dinosaurs still roam the earth.

    Those days are gone. Now it's come down to the reality - they do want to take our guns, and our liberty, and are willing to say so, over and over again.

    We do need the NRA, we just don’t need this guy.
