Because firearms manufacturing requires not only specific licenses, but also the tracking of serial numbers. Essentially, Dexter Taylor was buying replacement parts and then crafting the rest of the gun around them...the rest of the gun being, of course, the parts of the gun that has all the necessary tracking information so forensics can know which firearms belong to whom. The reason this is a crime is because even if he wasn't planning on doing anything with it, someone could take this "Ghost gun" (that's what they're called), and commit a near traceless crime with it. It's similar to how you can cook whatever you want in your own house (repairing your own registered gun), but you can't advertise a restaurant from your kitchen without involving some serious regulation (creating a new gun from spare parts). It's one of several ways that unrelated legal actions taken together can result in something that is super illegal.
Whether or not ghost guns SHOULD be able to be crafted from your own home is another question entirely. However yes, what he did was super illegal and the 2nd amendment just straight-up doesn't apply from a legal standpoint. Bitch may have said something weird, but she didn't actually do anything...well, frankly she actually didn't do anything worth reporting on.
@darianashkevron9969 wrong manufacturing guns for yourself is perfectly legal. As long as you dont sell them. What a crimnal decides to do with your stolen property is not your problem or legally your responsibility.
@@GhostlyGhille "Manufacturing guns for yourself is perfectly legal...on the federal level." You forgot to finish your sentence, so I helped. Or, to be more precise, there is no federal law regulating whether or not you're allowed to build your own guns, which means that the tenth amendment allows states to regulate firearms as they want. In New York, guns have to be registered. Period. Gun manufacturers have to be registered. Period. There are some exceptions carved out for specific weapons, but they have to be registered within 30 days of purchase (or completing the construction, in the case of something like this). Again, whether or not he SHOULD be able to build his own guns without registering them, whether or not he SHOULD be allowed to make the individual tiny pieces that you can't easily buy replacement parts for, is an entirely different discussion than what happened. What DID happen, is that he broke a law by illegally constructing unregistered firearms. Whether or not we like New York's super strict firearm laws is irrelevant to whether or not he broke a legally implemented law.
How is that even remotely legal
