Yeah, I'm sure his motives were totally benevolent.

 

[TEOTWAWKI inc.]

I like how they included pliers and a screwdriver in there as supporting evidence.

But you were ok with the young group of youts in Chicago with auto switches on their Glocks? Thought the 2nd was for everyone? That was your words, right?

Shit, they better not come to my place, I don't think even the internet is big enough to post pic's of all my tools!

 

[RooftopKorean]

So why is the PA AGs office involved in this? Was this someone their joint task force was following around to the shows in PA?

There was no context as to why they were involved, can only assume the above. If he was purchasing them in PA it is not illegal to do so, neither is constructing them in PA. The only violation would be obviously the transport and possession into NYS/NYC.

I'm sure there are plenty of things they *should* be in prison for. But the giggle switch isn't one of them.

As for the "ghost guns", odds are they were stolen and had the serials removed. They should be in prison for the theft, not the lack of documentation. But in NY a missing serial number is a bigger crime than grand theft.

Defaced or 80% type ghost guns? They push 80% as ghost guns so much that's what immediately comes to my mind. And as we know here in NY they are more dangerous than nukes.

The narrative is 99% home made.

The reality is 99% defaced serial number.

For criminals anyway.

It's intentionally dishonest to lump them in together.

As dishonest as counting suicides as "gun deaths".

Ghost Tools ..

nothing on the NYSP page on if he was a prohibited person ..

this guy may have a good law suit if he don't take a plea ..

NYSP say nope on defaced ..

"The Investigators from the SP Manhattan BCI and CTIU-South collaborated with the NYPD Major Case Field Intelligence Team, Manhattan District Attorney’s Office, and the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s Office on an investigation where Rivera was suspected of illegally possessing and assembling ghost guns. Search warrants were executed at locations associated with Rivera in New York and Pennsylvania, resulting in the seizure of six ghost guns, including loaded ghost pistols, a ghost assault rifle, and several high-capacity magazines."

If I identifiy as a troubled black youth, can I get a glock switch? I promise it wouldn't go on a ghost gun. Asking for a freind of course.

if your trusted out in public you should have anything you want ..

Those kids have ONE gun each. This guy has lots of guns, most likely not for self-defense but to sell illegally.

 

[ronstar]

Yes, converting a semi-auto gun to full-auto is a federal offense. You can only possess a full-auto gun through the NFA and it must be made prior to 1986.

If owning more than one makes you someone who's going to illegally sell them, then most gun owners are criminals? You own just one gun?
And if you think he has "lots" of guns you better just crawl back into your moms basement where it's safe.

Actually I live in a nice house with my wife, but thanks.

Most of these ghost gun stories with guys and lots of guns involve illegal sales.

And most of the inner city youts running around with Glocks, much less Glocks with auto switches, are gang bangers and drug dealers involvedin most shootings. Yet you're quick to defend them. I smell a bit of hypocrisy coming from you.

I see no evidence these kids are gang bangers. No gang colors or symbols. Just black kids with handguns. But for some folks, the 2nd Amendment is only for white people.

There's no evidence that guy that built those guns did it for nefarious purposes either but here we are. Any member of this forum that's built more than he did is going to sell them illegally, just because tgey have a "lot"? NYSP said these were built, no mention of being defaced.

I have no doubt he was gonna try to sell them.

Where is your supporting evidence to make some kind of statement like that?

Are you taking a play from Whorechul's play book and making wild accusations without evidence?

What if he's just a hobbyist like the rest if us but decided to be stupid by making P80s. Like Frankencub said, does this make the majority of us here criminals with the intent to sell then?

Your logic is flawed.

 

[spat]

I have no doubt he was gonna try to sell them.

Then why the variety?

If I was making a business out of it I would have a dozen identical guns to sell.

And a variety with milled slides, optics, lights, instead of basement Lego parts.

Ummm....excuse me. If someone has "lots of guns" they are planning to sell them illegally?

"Lots" in New York City means anything more than zero. In Texas, "lots" means more than you can fit in your heavy duty pickup on your range day.

I'm sure many here have "lots" of guns according to someone's definition. However, I'm sure nobody here is selling them illegally.

I used to bring more guns than that table held to the range for one day (before I could just shoot from my driveway).

And I have *never* sold a gun, legally or otherwise. My financial transactions only go one way when it comes to guns.

just to add on ... you can build as many p80's or 80% ARs as you want to .. and YES you can sell them ..

AS long as your not doing it as a business ..

per ATF regs on DIY guns .. when you sell one you need to add a serial number and i believe your name on it too ..

just don't sell 5 a month per say ..
