They usually are. Idk the exact demographics and I’m willing to bet it’s still overwhelmingly majority black but Hispanics have grown exponentially in numbers all over the DMV. Like rice, they’re everywhere.
Let me clear up a common misconception....yes parts of the gun are polymer based, but the barrel, chamber and receiver are steel.....on all of them. I remember when Glocks first became a thing and people were talking about plastic guns and metal detectors...LOL...I have a safe full of Glocks and I promise you that if I ever tried to pass a metal detector with one it would sing like Aretha Franklin.
And in Texas you don't have to register a gun anyway....and private sales don't have to be reported...so I can go to a gunshow in downtown houston and pick up AK's, AR's and Glocks and NOTHING exist that connects those guns to me....so the whole trace thing is irrelevant.
Absolutely. There are def pieces that are metallic and would set detectors off. From what I’ve seen folks say about em is that the polymer pieces only make it easier to smuggle into spaces that prohibit firearms, but it’s not entirely trace proof.
Most likely the reason this kid had the gun disassembled in his backpack to begin with.
Yup EVERYWHERE!!! Honestly ever major city on the East Coast between the DMV and the Carolinas, they are growing by leaps and bound...I was in Charlotte like 2 years ago and was like DAMN lil mexico cities were everywhere. Even in my hometown of Columbia, SC they have their own section of the city....
Yessir. This is a HUUGGEE part of why these white folks are running scared now. They’re being replaced and are showing their asses now.
I live in Texas so the whole trace thing means nothing...I can go to one of the 5 or 6 gun shows they have at the downtown convention center each year and buy a gun from a private individual, from pistols to AR's and Ak's and NOTHING traces back to me. Period. I don't have to obliterate serial numbers because the gun is never connected to my name to begin with.
As far as my personal experience, all the polymer does is make is lighter to carry and easier to maintain, but even disassembled, trying to smuggle it into somewhere at some point one has to smuggle in the barrel...and ain't no disguising that....because it looks like a steel gun barrel.
Criminals don't follow the rules. These ghost guns are continuing to be a problem because criminals don't give a fuck about the rules or licenses
We live in a fear mongering Country and there are more guns per capita then there are people. There is nothing we can do because the motherfuker from Texas last week waited till he turned 18 and was legal, bought guns and then killed people
He was legal, legally bought guns and then proceeded to use them to kill people. We are fucked as a country
We can start by banning assault rifles .. and that’s not just an opinion, but the facts and history in these United States. prove it works.
- Several studies find that mass shooting deaths fell slightly in the decade of the federal assault weapon ban, and then rose dramatically in the decade that followed.
- New research suggests that limits on large-capacity magazines play a key role.
- No strong evidence shows that the ban’s presence or its end caused the change in mass shooting deaths, but many studies find a correlation
Not being one to accept cognitive dissonance in my own life, I agree that banning assault weapons will work; but, I have an AK and AR in my gun safe, among other weapons like shotguns and handguns, with designs to buy more. So I am against the ban for selfish reasons..I just like owning guns.
Side note: My AR is actually an M&P 15, as opposed to an actual Armament Rifle prototype 15 (AR15) by the company that created the AR platform.....
I would love to see a ban on assault rifles. They're not needed outside of the military. Problem is Republican politicians are bought and paid for buy gun rights activist. I don't know who the fuck Buys in Pays for democrats, but they are bought and paid for too just by different groups
They will never ban assault rifles in America
Exactly.
For young ppl it isn't a deterrent because they keep thinking they'll get away with it. It's so many of these little hoodlums who do get away with all types of crime that they just think it's always going to continue.
But it's no different than young people in general. They do stupid shit because they young. They haven't experienced seeing someone you grew up with be 40-50 yrs old in a prison cell since they were 18-20 yrs old. That reality hits different through experience.
I remember seeing scared straight in 99' on MTV. I definitely wasn't a knucklehead back then and even I couldn't fathom the idea of those inmates having 25 to life sentences. Like it doesn't really seem real when you're a teenager.
The thing that kills me about all of these bills is they don't do shit. We already have laws that aren't enforced fully.
Stopping a parts manufacturer won't stop the flow. Once again, the dude that rolls up with guns and mags in the trunk isn't worried about a law. Most of these guns are stolen from other states as well. Considering we live next to a state with very lax gun laws, VA, they aren't going to turn off the faucet that easy.
