On Monday, President Joe Biden announced a first-of-its kind new gun regulation enacted by executive order that will restrict unserialized kits that allow people to assemble untraceable so-called "ghost guns," and make ownership of certain existing unserialized guns illegal.

Under the new rules, "firearm" and "frame and receiver" will be defined to include so called "buy build shoot" kits, and manufacturers of components used in ghost guns will be required to use the federal background check system on buyers.

But the announcement did not sit well with Arizona GOP Senate candidate Blake Masters, who took to Twitter to complain that under the new rules, a "very cool" firearm he assembled last month would be illegal to build now.

Hey jerk, I really do believe that your bullets for that gun and any gun should be taxed at 5000%.
And no-one knew you made such a weapon ...does it give a warm and fuzzy feeling ....

1. So I guess he couldn't pass a background check for a legitimate gun

Do they know that most people never think about gun much less spend all their time with their brains in gun land? It is not normal to be obsessed with firearms the way these people are

2. They get mad when you call 'em gun-humpers

but then they get on Twitter and hump their guns.

5. I've seen people here get pissed when they spout pro-NRA talking points

and get called out for being gun humpers.

Same when pro-police can do no wrong people get called badge lickers.

3. Well at least this thug is in the right mode of operation, blame the dems and biden for everything!

4. The real reason these exist is to help criminals get guns. Repubes support the technology.

Repubes support criminal activity.

6. Maybe cool, but not legal

Short barrel rifles are NFA items and require a lot of documentation.

7. That looks to be a pistol

with an arm brace.

8. Anyone caught really doesn't have to worry

The charge will most likely be plea bargained down to something not involving guns like the majority of gun crimes.
