Gun manufacturers will be partly irrelevant to the future of gun control. Like it or not, ghost guns mean policing gun violence will be about going after gun offenders.

"Police found three firearms, body armor and 500 rounds of ammunition inside.
...and found an untraceable “ghost gun” loaded with 24 bullets and built with a home kit. Police believe that is the firearm that was fired at the officer." https://t.co/mcjmgB0RP6
The intra-Palestinian meeting in Moscow has precedent

Russia's hosted such meetings in the past, most recently Feb 2019
Russia has long lamented the US' "monopolization" of the peace process & tried to carve out a niche for itself: mediating among the disunited Palestinians/2

Actions to take:
- Avoid the area;
- Avoid demonstrations and any large gatherings of people;
- Do not attempt to drive through roadblocks; and
- If you encounter a roadblock, turn around and get to a safe area.

All eyes on #Chad right now
Chad has two internet trunks coming into the country: One from the Red Sea via Sudan; the other from Cameroon. Not possible for the totality of the country's internet network to be shut unless done centrally. A lot of rumors swirling; few facts. https://t.co/N6bDJZ2ixO

With Like it or not, I believe he might be referring to people having something against "stop and frisk"?
Do those people have some kind of alternative, like maybe making ammunition very hard to get?
Or really stiff sentences for offenders using guns illegally for the "think twice before you do this?" factor? That eventually worked with drunk driving. But consider this: we basically allow the equivalent of "stop and frisk" for driving, anyone that a law enforcement officer deems to be driving erratically can be stopped and required to get out of the car and given tests.
Why are people traveling on two feet in public spaces but hiding even more lethal equipment in their pocket given the mulligan here? They're certainly not given that benefit when trying to board an airplane with fellow citizens. They take off their shoes and jackets, leave what they are carrying to be inspected and go through x-ray machines. Even upper class privileged white people do this, go figure.
Good luck to the woke folks hanging on to an old fashioned notion of privacy in public.

I'm sure ghost gun fans are happy to see activists continuing to promote the "defund police" meme, including things like taking police off traffic enforcement duty, because police are frankly: the only hope of reducing proliferation.

"I'm sure ghost gun fans are happy to see activists continuing to promote the "defund police" .......
Do you ever stop posting right wing Fox News memes/agitprop long enough to educate yourself on reality?
The reality is ghost guns are legal and Republicans are fighting to keep them legal.
"A group of Republican representatives is hoping to block the ATF from gaining “extraordinary power over the firearm industry.” link
If Biden does try to ban ghost guns with a new ATF rule, Republicans are ready to block it in court, the rationale for this from the Heritage Foundation:
"...the ATF’s new rule in effect would change that law to allow for the regulation of “almost-frames” or “almost-receivers.”.... Congress simply did not give the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives the authority to drastically alter the plain meaning of statutes, or to regulate partially finished frames or receivers that require more drilling or machining on the part of the person assembling the gun. And the ATF is not constitutionally permitted to grant itself that authority, ...". link
Funded or defunded, cops can't stop ghost guns.
Republicans want the carnage to continue, so they can run on "being tough on crime". Which they ensure will continue by legalization of any and all guns everywhere, for anybody, anywhere.

Ghost gun making looking more and more like a growth industry in the U.S.:
they come in much purdier colors, after all, can match your backpack or whatever -

REALIZE THIS: Everything that's going on in Ukraine is going to make it even tougher to institute any kind of gun control in the U.S.
You first had everyone and his uncle buying a gun for self-protection during police pulling back during Geo. Floyd protests and the aftermath of a rising crime wave.
Now you've got Ukraine being a perfect example of every 2nd-Amendment dead ender's main argument.
