A stolen handgun with the serials removed is a "ghost gun." Always has been. The product of at least 2 crimes already, it is no surprise they are used in crimes. Using the same term for 80% kits is so far beyond dishonest there is no term for it. They are NOT that easy to build. Saying so is salesmanship. It takes patience and a degree of skill (not what criminals are noted for).
People buy and build these to be able to protect themselves without the same people who want to defund the police knowing they have it. Because you might want to "defund" that too. Savvy?
Untraceable so yall can't track credit card records okayyyy
Gun laws won’t change this the majority of the parts are already manufactured in the same country the government has sooooo successfully stopped the importation of heroine
Come and take them.
You realize you committed a crime right NBC? You bought a 80%
You videoed yourselves committing the crimes, then published it for the whole country to see.
I may be wrong, but i got a feeling that you were trying to show how easy it was to make a firearm to persuade viewers to want more gun laws.
What actually happened was, you didn’t read up on your state or federal law already in effect and accidentally became a felon, videoed it and aired it before anyone told you to at least maybe edit the video evidence of you committing crimes.
You cant have someone assemble a firearm for you without a license dude.
You illegally straw man purchased parts for a non licensed manufacturer 3rd party with the intent of them producing a firearm.
They illegally assembled a ghost gun for a 3rd party Without a manufacturer license.
You then took possession of a illegal firearm. A ghost gun.
If you are going to commit felonies making a firearm, why not make one of the ar frames full auto? You are already a felon, nothing you do to the gun will make it any more illegal now , so why not make it with
adjustable butt stock
full auto
11.5 “ barrel with bayonet
If you bought the 80%
You MUST use YOUR tools and do 100% of the work YOURSELF to complete a 80%. If its given to someone other than the purchaser it must be serialized first making it traceable and no longer a ghost gun.
It didn’t happen to cross a state line did it? If you violated interstate commerce law, I hope you don’t own a dog.
What did you do with it after the story? Do you still have possession of it? I wouldn’t recommend selling it.
why can we see this gun? I thought ghosts where invisible?? Lets face it NBC is the absolute WORST on propaganda than CNN.
just wait until they find out how fast you can get one from braking into a home/car crazy huh
What they are selling isn't a firearm. Homemade firearms are legal in America. Keep your hands off the 2A. Luckily the SCOTUS is 2A friendly.
Government will not disarm the American public! Fact! This is result of any suggestion to do so! People will protect themselves and families.
These "reporters" are idiots…..this is highly illegal! Clearly a hit piece where they are not interested in a balanced informative report. Your bias is blatant.
Stop attacking gun rights you communist whackos. The world is a cruel place.
Hey NBC. News Flash for you. Firearms never required a background check in the 50's, 60's and 70's. There were not mass shootings like we have today. So your logic is invalid. Background checks never came around till the Brady Bill in 1993. And mass shootings never became common until Columbine in 1999. Back then families were healthy, God was in the household and schools. Firearms were a common sight on school grounds in trucks and some schools had shooting classes. Those schools never had deranged mass shooters cause a mental health crisis wasn't the top issue in the country. The #1 problem today in America is rapidly declining MENTAL HEALTH. As is the decline of just about everything else in our dying nation.
Ok ? Records, serial numbers, background checks are all violations of the 2A .
And building a weapon in your home is legal in the USA. There are no rules broken here don't let these people lie to you
They Clearly show California regulates P80 Kits but show clips of criminals some how getting them in California. So Criminals don’t respect the laws what’s new?!
Good people with guns save others in danger.while law enforcement protects pedophile politicians and releases criminals into the public to stay relevant.we need to take our country back!🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸💪💪🏻💪🏼💪🏽💪🏿💪🏾
What they are not showing is how the “upper” was obtained.
The phony actors on TV illustrate that mind control runs deep.
That "special agent" is above the law and operating in an illegal capacity.
in case of ghost gun, who do you call ? ghost busters !
They break the law to enforce the law….sounds like police stings, breaking the law to enforce it.
IT REALLY WON'T DO ANYTHING. YOU CAN MAKE A GUN OUT OF ANYTHING OR USE A KNIFE. WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY. JUST CONCENTRATE ON CRIME AND IT WILL ALL GO AWAY…
Thanks, after watching this video I went out and built 10 of them. Thanks NBC!
How easy os a ghost to vote
I'll never forget September 2019 I was watching television. And the TV News said LCCPD said on September 2019 the Lancaster County California Police Department shooting was all a fake and I hoax. This is not hearsay this is a fact TV news media and LCCPD said and admitted it was all a fake and hoax ON TV but why would they lie??? Obviously it's a lot deeper than this and there's a motive behind it from the top.
ITS SO EASY THAT SOME HAD TO BUILD IT
They couldn’t even build the kit themselves they needed help and tools they had no clue how to use😂😂😂 what a literal joke
💩
Imagine the News breaking a firearms law to show how dangerous said law was
Imagine stating that it's a Legal problem to sell a Frame. When there are no laws claiming the kits are firearms
Maybe you guys should should read a little history and why we have the right to bear arms while it's your right to protect yourself, it's also to protect our core rights from our government and you people are making that increasingly more difficult and during a time when our rights are being stripped every day
If a bad guy wants a gun and has money he is gunna find one no matter how many laws you make
To bad you can’t see how many dislikes are on this video I wanna know lmao
