According to U.S. Attorney John C. Gurganus, the indictment alleges that between August 2021 and January 2022, in Lebanon County, Pennsylvania, Samuel Snader, age 39, of Lebanon, Pennsylvania, and Hector Colon, age 30, of Puerto Rico, worked together to acquire firearm parts for the purpose of manufacturing and commercially dealing Privately Made Firearms (PMFs), often referred to as “ghost guns.” It is alleged that Snader would manufacture the PMFs, which did not possess serial numbers. Colon allegedly located potential firearm buyers and directed them to Snader who personally delivered the firearms in exchange for money. “Ghost guns are a danger to public safety all across Pennsylvania and we must close the loophole that allows them to be sold without a background check,” said Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

Josh is a hack. They should have numbered them 1, 2, 3, 4


"Ghost guns are a danger to public safety all across Pennsylvania and we must close the loophole that allows them to be sold without a background check,” said Attorney General Josh Shapiro.

Freedom is a loophole too. That's why .gov is working on closing it.

With a last name of Shapiro, one would figure he would know the usefulness of gun against dictatorial governments.

Wolf said, “This change will stop criminals. It will stop terrorists and other lawless people who can’t pass a background check from acquiring a gun through a loophole that never should have existed in the first place.”

Spoken like a someone who is completely out-of-touch with the reality of violent crime on the streets.

The state needs to make the case that it's the 80% kits themselves that are directly correlated with the surge in violence. They can't. They'll soon find out that the truth is that 80% kits are too costly and too labor-intensive for these thugs, so they instead resort to stealing other peoples guns which is more effective and cheaper.

Not quite true. 80% kit built guns are showing up in arrests of federally prohibited persons. But I don't believe that is the sole impetus for the attack on those kits. That's just one swing in the whack-a-mole game.

“Ghost guns are a danger to public safety

I'm trying to get all worried about ghost guns but it's just not working. Far more worried about cops having guns then I am of drug dealers I don't and never will owe money to.
