    Funny how the Republicans are all up in arms now when it’s Republican congressmen who blocked any regulation of “ghost guns”.

      2A defense organizations like the NRA exist to protect firearm maker profits, not gun rights. If people can make guns at home, there’s no profit for the arms industry; that’s what has them buzzing.

      The GOP is being told to legislate against anything that threatens gun maker profits. That’s all.
