Feds raid 'ghost gun' maker whose products they say are linked to 'hundreds of crimes'

Polymer80's "Buy Build Shoot" kit is at the center of a federal investigation into the Nevada company, which was raided by the ATF.

(CNN)First, there was a home-invasion-style robbery in April 2019 that resulted in a triple homicide.

Three months ago, a pair of sheriff's deputies were shot while sitting in their patrol car.

And just last month, a 29-year-old man was fatally shot outside his home, allegedly by members of a street gang.

The three seemingly unconnected attacks in Southern California have one thing in common, according to federal authorities: So-called ghost guns recovered by police during their investigations all trace back to the same company in Nevada.

Do-it-yourself murder kits for those who can't legally purchase a gun, or who want to try to hide their crimes. Cowardly gun humpers will always find a way to get their hands on the objects of their deadly fantasies.

all the gungeoneers were like, it's all law abiding and nobody has ever committed a crime . . .

The same thing they said about .50 cal sniper rifles that are popular with cartels in Mexico.

gunners deny that weapons designed to kill won't be used for that purpose by those so inclined.

More stories of law-abiding citizens like George Zimmerman and Rittenhouse.

country and gun sales go down, elect someone who has a middle of the road approach and gun sales go up.

I'm beginning to swing to the only way to prevent 40-50 deaths a year is to just say 'fuck it, take 'em all and round up the people that don't comply'.

That's what happens when one side refuses to compromise on legal, constitutional changes to the law. The push the other side to equally outrageous solutions.
