Things that made you smile today (Political Version)

Gonna be some serious crying amongst criminals eager to own ghost guns in violation of lawful federal regulation.

You obviously don’t know what a “ghost gun” is and how incredibly rare it is that such guns are ever used in a crime.

All this does is grant a stay on the ruling until this gets eventually appealed to SCOTUS to decide. Their voting on this stay is not indicative of their decision on the case itself and is usually par for the course in our legal system to grant a stay. With the Bruen standard, I am certain the ATFs final rule will get overturned (just like the bump stock ban) but it takes years.

What are the statistics for ghost gun crimes anyway? Only person I've ever heard use that term is our sun downing "president".

According to Everytown Research, which is a political advocacy group that is heavily biased as anti-gun, a total of 138 shootings have been committed with so called ghost guns since they began tracking them in 2013. To put it in perspective, in 10 years time that’s like a single weekend of regular gun shootings in Chicago.

A thousand plus percent increase in recovered privately and thus untraceable in only a four year span and you're trying to downplay the issue claiming 138 shootings using an untraceable firearm isn't significant? Lol, what's up with your party pretending to be the Law and Order party, all the while hating the law, shunning justice, and promoting order belonging only to those who can personally defend themselves?

Privately Made Firearms

Law enforcement agencies recovered and submitted 37,980 suspected privately made firearms3 (PMFs) to ATF for tracing between 2017 and 2021. It is probable that current trace data significantly underrepresents the number of PMFs recovered in crimes by LEAs due to a variety of challenges presented by PMFs, to include:

• PMFs involvement in crime is an emerging issue and LEAs are just beginning to institute uniform training on the recognition, identification, and reporting of PMFs that can lead to more accurate PMF data being collected.
• PMFs by their nature may have no markings at all, duplicative markings, counterfeit markings, or markings that appear to be serial numbers on parts of the firearm other than the frame or receiver. These duplicative, counterfeit, or erroneous markings can be mistaken for authentic serial numbers and markings causing law enforcement to not recognize the firearm as a PMF and/or potentially follow false leads based on these markings.

As Figure OFT-04 reflects, the number of suspected PMFs recovered by law enforcement agencies and submitted to ATF for tracing increased by 1,083% from 2017 (1,629) to 2021 (19,273). The dramatic rise in trace submissions involving PMF’s reflects both increased criminal use of these firearms and enhanced awareness among law enforcement that ATF will process trace requests for PMFs. In particular, the substantial increase in PMF trace submissions since 2020 is in part attributable to education, outreach, and training that ATF has provided to LEAs on how to identify PMFs and the importance of submitting them for tracing. In September 2020, ATF issued guidance to all eTrace users explaining how to identify and trace PMFs. This guidance was formalized in the updated ATF Publication 3312.12 – Police Officer’s Guide to Recovered Firearms In 2021, ATF trained more than 1,700 law enforcement personnel in approximately 14 PMF presentations across the country.

I could write a lengthy rebuttal, but you’re simply not worth engaging with on this topic. It’s also beyond your mental capacity to think beyond what your television tells you how to feel.

Edit: You know what is a better idea though? We should serialize every ballot.

You take your defeat like any other man in the subject, so no worries I accept your surrender for the worth of your paltry argument. Nothing.

I so want him to take the sledgehammer to every fucking career politician that's still in office. I just don't care, Democrat or Republican, fucking crush every last one of them.

No, it's literally because you're too stupid. Even the other democrats who post here know this.
