  1. AGAIN ITS 100% legal to manufacture your own firearm

  2. NBC COMMITING a FELONY PURCHASING A 80% Kit and having someone else build it.

  3. These aren't easy to BUILD. You have to Mill out the lower. the right to build arms for personal use is a right protected by the Second Amendment

  4. The kits arent complete. No frame

  5. You commie loving traitiors. Let americans alone. This is not china

  6. 🤡 recording yourself breaking a federal law😂😂😂

  7. I will not be lectured on Gun Control by NBC News, the Biden Administration, or a certain political party that open the borders to the Mex Drug Cartel, release the Merchant of Death Viktor Bout, and armed the Taliban with our assault rifles/military equipment when Biden cut and run away from Afghanistan.

  8. You can also grind off the serial number of non “ghost gun” and surprise surprise now it’s a ghost gun🙄

  9. Most “ghost guns” are regular firearms that had their serial number scratched out. It’s not as “easy drill here, file here, and put a bullet here and boom you have gun”. Now are these kits being used by people who can’t pass a NICS check? Probably, but I don’t think adding more laws would help. Just like drugs, if a person is set on getting something like a gun, they will no matter if it means breaking the law. It seems it’s the cities with the toughest laws have more gun crime…. Why?? The tougher the law gets, the more people want them. My theory is that some people want what they can’t or aren’t supposed to have…. I do believe that not anyone should be able to have a gun. If someone has a violent criminal record, I don’t think any sane person would want them to be armed.

  10. This video makes me sad for humanity that people are mad about other people making their own firearms. This is a historic tradition of the United States and everyone has become brainwashed by people scaring them away from learning gun safety

  11. The only illegal activity was from the ignorant and hypocritical news team who violated laws in this video!

  12. I saw a dvd ad on untraceable ghost guns promoting no serial #'s and yep, right here on YT. Got the commercial for it yesterday. I was watching a video about the 70's that had NOTHING to do with it. It throws everyone on both sides under the bus and You Tube supported it.

  13. 3:37 THE JEW WANTING TO TAKE OUR GUNS

  14. Coming to this 10 months late but… 1. This kind of news bit broadcasts to MILLIONS of people just how easy it is to get a gun without registering. Why isn't you tube taking this video down? Your average gun video is MORE educational about firearms and NOT DESIGNED to be this emotionally alarming. 2. If someone watches this video, and then goes out and purchases one of these weapons and uses it in a criminal manner because they never knew HOW EASY it was before seeing this, is NBC News responsible for that crime? If not, then the guys selling the weapons aren't responsible either. The responsibility is with the person pulling the trigger, just like anyone who kills with a kitchen knife. 3. Why aren't we EDUCATING children about how to properly handle and use firearms – and what variants there are, why some are military grade, and some aren't etc. – while simultaneously explaining unreported MENTAL ILLNESS as well as national and international POLITICS, and THE POWER OF MEDIA at the same time?

  15. Isn't it beautiful!!! I love America and the freedoms we have.

  16. So many wrongs in this video….the only right is we can build ourselves a firearm in this country, how NBC did it was in fact a felony according to what I just watched. And these are the people who want to take our rights away? Make this make sense

  17. When they say ghost gun, they fail to mention that encompasses mainly stolen guns that serials were filed off. They love lumping things together to beef stats. Exhausting.

  18. OH NO! A GHOST GUN! 👻🔫"BOO!"

  19. Criminals that use gost "guns" are already criminals breaking the law. law abiding citizens are not criminals

  20. Who else loves ghost guns

  21. If the government armed the citizens mass shootings wouldn't happen on top of that a gun Free zone is just a shooting gallery for criminal's

  22. What did the kit cost at the gun show?
