    Booze and guns don’t mix

    But apparently, booze and "journalism" do. What is with that awful formatting of that "article". It looks like a child writing a book report who has one page of content that gets "creative" with the white space to meet the two-page minimum.

    This appears to be someone who needed an article and just threw it together in 20 minutes, there's no data backing their claim that gangs are big buyers of ghost guns. More effort was put into insulting people than research. It's no surprise really, it's a California Liberal writing for other California Liberals. So I expect 80% firearms to be completely banned or further regulated in California.

    If 80% lowers get regulated to require everything a stripped lower requires, is there any real value in an 80% lower anymore at that point? I suppose if you want the challenge or satisfaction in finishing the lower it may still be worth it, but the cost to have them serialized will probably put them at the same price as a stripped lower.

    Well then we'll build 75% lowers.
    Did you read the link? This proposed legislation would ban possession of guns not bought or transferred through dealers. You build it at home from a block of aluminum and it would be illegal under the legislation proposed in the linked article.

    Of course, joke's on them - without this being a national ban, gangs can still buy and build 80% lowers. It'll just be MORE ILLEGAL. :P

    If someone obliterates the serial number on a firearm, does it magically become a "ghost gun"? Because ...
    “Ghost guns are law enforcement’s biggest fear because they’re not traceable,” says Assemblyman Mike Gipson (D-Carson), the bill’s author. “This is huge.”
    Yeah, it's not criminal behavior or out-of-control violence ... it's the ability to find out when and where a firearm was originally manufactured. So important!

    Maybe they should focus on their broken criminal justice that has a 65% recidivism/failure rate.

    Oh wait that would address an actual problem rather than "solving" a non existent problem. :rolleyes:

    Kind of reminds me of hysteria when first Glock 19 polymer pistol came out. That was "undetectable " too. That rumor is actually still out in the wild...

    And then our AACO Grabber Lobby will notice and herald the idea in their Final Draft Laws Report for the dilettante numskulls in the MGA.

    That was the Glock 7, completely invisible.

    I have one around here somewhere, but I set it down and haven't been able to find it since.
