H.R.7468 - Stop Home Manufacture of Ghost Guns Act of 2020

Any chance this grows legs?

They're targeting the production lowers and 3D printing and also hinting at making every day tools that are used to make said weapons illegal. I don't recall them going after home manufacture before.

Probably trying to put it in place before the prohibition/confiscation drive. They are assuming an election of the subversives, and a loud prohibition, rolling requirements to go after everything. So, they'd like a manufacturing prohibition in first, easier to do when most people will look at each other and shrug: it would be too obvious later. Ammunition reloading is next, I'd say.

I should probably pick up that mill I've been wanting now....

Wouldn't this make pretty much every machine shop owner in the nation a felon?

One cannot control honest men. Got to make them criminals.

3D printing is just a stepped up technology in terms of speed. Given a milling machine and a lathe, one can make almost anything.

...and folks were making their own guns even back in colonial america. I read an article once that described how to make a rifling tool using a wooden dowel and some fragments of flint.

It looks like they're targeting something specific, like a jig to make a receiver.

It's only a matter of time until they DO pass something like this.
