  1. The guy DIY'd his own AR15 with no machine or weapons experience. Regardless of 2nd A stance, terminology, or the butter knife thing, that's pretty badass.

  2. Wait, why couldn't he take the receiver back to New York? As long as it is placed in checked baggage I don't see the problem.

    Considering he knew the guns laws pretty good, I think surrendering the receivers to the police at the end was just a virtue signal. Nice segment otherwise.

  3. Andy what is a traceable gun? Do you have any idea what you would be tracing? You did not mention how much the Ghost Gunner cost. It is much easy to by an illegal gun off the street, then make one and ten to one you already know this. One more video aimed at a section of the population that has no really knowledge of firearms or the laws that regulate them. One last thing the ghost gun does not skirt any laws, they fall under different laws and you made the point of it when you had to destroy the lowers you made or turn them in to the police. PS are you selling your ghost gunner I'm interested.
