This $1,200 machine lets you make untraceable semi-automatic rifles at home

It's about to get a whole lot easier to make a semi-automatic rifle at home with no serial number, no background check, and no waiting period. Cody Wilson, the libertarian behind the world's first 3D-printed gun, is now selling an all-in-one desktop CNC mill, called the Ghost Gunner. It can produce an aluminum lower receiver of an AR-15 rifle — the civilian version of the military's M-16 assault rifle — in a couple of hours.

The lower receiver, which connects the stock, barrel, magazine, and other parts of the gun together, is the component that is legally considered to be a firearm under US law — and its sale is highly regulated. The Ghost Gunner is programmed to take a partially-complete lower receiver, known as an "80 percent lower," and automatically mill it into a functioning part. From there, all you have to do is buy the other widely-available components online and assemble the rifle. As Wilson explains on the product's website, "on day one, Ghost Gunner can help you legally manufacture unserialized firearms in the comfort of your own home."

While the Ghost Gunner makes small-scale firearm assembly and manufacture fairly fool-proof, it isn't a particularly practical solution. All-in, producing an AR-15 this way costs roughly $2,000 — about twice as much as just buying the firearm in a local gun shop. And gun enthusiasts have legally manufactured AR-15 rifles and other weapons at home using the same components for years — this just streamlines the process. The Ghost Gunner, then, like the 3D-printed "Liberator" handgun before it, is more of a political statement than anything else. Cody Wilson has said before that he's trying to cut off gun regulations at the knees, and the Ghost Gunner is certainly successful at finding its way around the law.

Is it real?
Is it legal?

Is it practical?
Will it function well and hold up long without degradation?

How accurate is it??
When will Obama and crew attack it and those doing that?

And will Obama send in his thugs with orders to shoot at the very least excuse given, if he decides to outlaw it regardless if its legal or not??

I haven't the answers but damn sure hope it is real and a few million patriots each buy one and use it often.
Because odds are that the bam traitor will try to confiscate guns just as soon as he takes care of granting amnesty to this nations incoming enemies-- the illegals.
Of course the gun with no ammo is just a fairly ineffective club.
See how they are attacking ammo supply and means to purchase now .-Tyr

Even with their best attempts, I doubt that leftists will be able to keep us from buying more ammo. There's always the black market, which always ramps up if and when "Government Goons" start restricting constitutional rights. The right to purchase ammo goes hand in hand with the right to bear arms. We just need to replace the aholes that are infringing (or trying to) upon our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms and rights.

Mexican Drug Cartels will love this idea. I wonder if Cody Wilson has made a cash deal with Isis yet?

I used to know a guy who made guns. He made rifles and shotguns,mostly. He also made the ammo. His shop was pretty cool. That was a long time ago though.

My older brother can take any rifle, shotgun or pistol, examine it for a few minutes then strip it down, clean it, reassemble it easy peasy. Do it all quickly too.
I once considered going into that line of business but the easy money made gambling lured me away back then.
I just never had time to get into the ammo making game. Far easier to just buy it, shoot it, buy more. At least it was way back then. ;) -Tyr
