  1. Here come the pro-gun zealots.

  2. sO YOU SUE THE MAN WHO SOLD THE GUN…BUT YOU LET CRIMINALS FREE? iF I GET IN A CAR ACCIDENT…DO YOU SUE TOYOTA?

  3. They do not wanna deal with the actual problem!

  4. Maybe we should sue ford for drunk drivers killing people

  5. Yeah, it's never the CRIMINALS fault

  6. 🤦‍♀️ So, you can carry without a permit in most states; you can purchase guns without background checks in most states; you can 'stand your ground'; you can use those weapons to mass-shoot people but, by gawds we draw the line at 'ghost' weapons… 🧐🤨

  7. you cant pick and choose who has gun rights and who doesn't

  8. keep voting for democrats.

  9. 3D printing has made gun control obsolete. But it’s no surprise that they go after a gun manufacturer and not the people who committed the act. Just another way for them to violate your 2nd amendment rights.

  10. We should be suing our cities for failing to protect its citizens….Here in NYC it's go to work at your own risk…IT'S UNACCEPTABLE THIS LEVEL OF VIOLENCE AND CRIME

  11. Told you so… ghost guns. 🕵‍♂️🚔👮‍♂️ ⚖️ 👨‍⚖️

  12. 2:34 wearing a pin representing a foreign country.

  13. Did the shooter, who is a trans BLM activist, write a manifesto?

  14. I would give that man my business, was absolutely right about ford and vehicles

  15. Never gonna ban them. And when everyones disarmed people have enough to dig up. Registries will lead to future confiscations

  16. Well regulated chaos.

  17. This is proof gun control does NOT work. It’s too late to stop this thing. Really, it’s too late. But meanwhile law abiding citizens are getting reamed. …lol… this current administration is so embarrassing. It’s like petro with zero octane. 😉

  18. It is a constitutional right for one to manufacture their own firearms…been that way for hundreds of years and it was never an issue until a certain crowd took a liking to them. Just some food for thought.

  19. So this was a guns fault and not gang members? Gfys. Grow up and address the real issue.

  20. Republicans fault ban guns now gop sucks

  21. Why is the sale of ghost gun components legal? Evil intent.

  22. 2:35 They won't stop until the guns are elimiated…. but NO MENTION of the real issue — mental health and hate.
    100% focus on guns
    0% focus on the real problem: criminals, mental health, and hate

  23. JSD Supply and Polymer 80 would like to thank you for the free advertising 👍
    Now I know where to buy a ghost gun. Thank you.

  24. 1:13 Extremely biased. Most the guns that criminals steal are untraceable since they file them down. Over 80 million Americans own guns legally and they AREN'T murdering people.
