The current President babbled out some nonsensical prattle about some proposed executive actions to infringe on the right to keep and bear arms. included in this are his desire to ban pistol braces as well as “ghost guns,” the scare-term used to describe incomplete gun “kits” that people can buy legally without registration (because they are not actually guns at that point) and then finish into guns.. Right now these generally revolve around what are called “80% lowers:” generally a block of aluminum in the shape of a lower receiver (typically of an AR-15) that can be finished with some drilling and milling by a competent machinist. If he somehow succeeds in making 80% lowers illegal, people will just start selling 75% lowers, or 49% lowers, or even just rectangular billets of aluminum. Currently the receiver is the only part of a firearm that is regulated; you can buy all the barrels and trigger assemblies you like without having to file paperwork. Sniffer Joe might want to change that, however.

Turning a billet into a finished receiver is becoming easier and easier with modern CNC mills; witness the “Ghost Gunner.”

Ghost Gunner 3

Ghost Gunner is a general purpose CNC mill that gives you the ability to finish a growing library of mil-spec 80 percent lowers to completion. With simple tools and point and click software, the machine automatically finds and aligns to your 80% lower to get to work. No prior CNC knowledge or experience is required to manufacture from design files. Legally manufacture unserialized rifles and pistols in the comfort and privacy of home.

The Ghost Gunner 3 pre-orders for $500 (deposit, as was pointed out in the comments. total price is about two grand). This is the approximate price of a modest AR-15 or a decent 1911… but it should allow you to make an indeterminate number of receivers. Right now it seems to need “80% lowers,” rather than just rectangular blocks of aluminum… but some future iteration of the Ghost Gunner no doubt will be able to achieve that. Hell, soon enough you’ll be able to melt down a bunch of aluminum cans, pour the molten aluminum into a sand or plaster mold, shove the crappy casting into the GG#X and it’ll bang out a serviceable receiver.

Of course, most people are not even aware of the option they have of making their own firearm. Most people only think of firearms procurement in terms of buying one from a gun store. So what has been the result of Temporary President Bidens mumblings about executive actions? Let’s got to the tape:

It’s beginning to look like Biden will be a better firearm salesman that Obama ever dreamed of being. At the same time that the far Left is openly talking about locking up millions of Americans in Federal prison, more and more Americans are lining up to be the targets of the Lefts pogroms.

That said, Biden did make an interesting point:

Biden on the Second Amendment: ‘No amendment is absolute’

And this is true. It is now time for the press to confront Biden about the lack of absoluteness with regards to, say, voting rights.
