So a know-nothing journalist set out to research and write a hit piece on the concept of “ghost guns” by taking an 80% kit and finishing it to a functional firearm. The idea seemed to be to show just how easy it is for criminal types to get a gun that the law says they shouldn’t have. Two problems, though: first, the job turned out to be far harder than the journalist had expected. Second problem: the journalist set out to obey all the law in his quest to make a “ghost gun,” but in the process he seems to have unintentionally broken a truckload of laws. Thing is, these are dumb California laws, the sort of laws that clearly exist solely to trap regular folks. The kind of laws that exist solely to dissuade people from exercising their basic rights. But will *this* guy get charged? After all, he has the right politics.

How easy is it to build a ghost gun? We asked our reporter to find out

A video was put together to explain what laws the journalist broke. Takes more than twenty minutes to go through it. Strictly speaking this guy is far more of a lawbreaker that Rittenhouse ever dreamed of being.
