Pretty sure you just committed a whole bunch of felonies becuase you actually don't know what the laws are in CA.

[@EggNog1]

I mean seriously? This shows how clearly even an “intelligent” man can’t do it. This does nothing for your side.

[@hightiersnobs]

lol. You committed at least 7 felonies making this gun. I hope the state presses charges.

Let's see what the law of the land says, shall we?..... Second Amendment

[@sethm8899]

Still not ca legal, needs to have 10 in. barrel, bolt action, and a piece of metal for detection in frame. R.I.P to your dog, AFT👎

"Unlike me, not everyone buying ghost guns is bothering to abide by the rules"... * Proceeds to document himself and his accomplices breaking a lot of rules *

[@billvia45]

Why has Austin not been arrested for breaking California gun laws? Either you enforce your unconstitutional laws California, or STFU and allow your citizens to exercise their enumerated civil rights.

[@480i2]

You committed a felony in the state of Ca on camera. I’m contacting the ATF/FBI.

[@J11A]

uh oh thats a felony hello ATF

[@helidude3502]

No serial number. Untraceable.

[@matthewsearls1268]

When you film yourself committing a crime and post it on KZbin 😂😂

[@Vaeloron]

This is not the first time a journalist has committed multiple crimes trying to create a hit piece on guns. They are never prosecuted.

[@mghegotagun]

You know what other guns are untraceable? The ones not left at the scene of a crime.

[@internationalmanofmystery4285]

So in order for that to be legal, you have to apply to DOJ for a unique serial number. Criminals will either build a ghost gun and NOT apply for a serial number, OR they will simply buy a stolen gun. Pretty sure felons are already prohibited from owning any kind of firearm. Nor understanding the issue with law abiding citizens building a gun and applying for a DOJ serial number as you have sir.

Should've been watching Reno May to avoid the backlash 😂😂😂. Hide yo dogs!!!

[@christopherseidl2172]

You didn’t even build this pistol someone else did and you also used a friends drill press

[@plusorminusandtime]

Did the gun even work? By the way, the constitution says we can. So we do. "The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed". Deal with it.

After watching this guy, I wonder if the gun actually worked. It appeared that he was re-drilling holes during the assembly - this is a big red flag. I’d like to see if he could actually fire it more than once without an ejection or feed issue. Also, he didn’t show any safety checks to make sure the gun wouldn’t go off unless the trigger was pulled. Anyone can slap one of these together in a day, but it probably won’t work right and may even fire if dropped or bumped. Also, it’s not a ghost gun if you put a serial number on it.
