Here’s your fabulously ignint news article for today (yeah, yeah, it’s from more than a week ago. You want more timely blogging… gimme money):

Sen. Chuck Schumer warns of coming online blueprints for ‘ghost guns’

Media proves how good they are at their job:

As of Aug. 1, websites will be allowed to post blueprints explaining how to make so-called “ghost guns” — guns manufactured on 3-D printers, and able to pass through metal detectors unseen because they are made of plastic.

It’s good to know that the springs and firing pins and barrels and bullets and cartridges will all be made of special metal-detector defeating metals.

Senator Chuck Schumer proves how good he is at his job:

“I am sounding an alarm that come Aug. 1, America is going to get a lot less safe when it comes to the gut-wrenching epidemic of gun violence,” Schumer said. “Ghost guns are not only scary, they’re outright dangerous in the way they can mimic the look and the capacity of a hardened, fully semiautomatic weapon.”

Schumer says three stupid things:

1) August first, just a few days now, we’ll see a statistically meaningful increase in violent crime due to the sudden availability of 3D CAD models.

2) “Ghost guns are scary.” If you’re Scooby Doo, maybe. If you realize that a “ghost gun” is a more expensive and complex product for a criminal than simply *stealing* a gun, then, not so much.

3) Fully Semiautomatic Weapons. FULLY SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS. FULLY SEMIAUTOMATIC WEAPONS.
