So the Colorado “Club Q” shooter used evil “ghost guns.” Sure.
Club Q suspect carried ‘ghost guns’ with no serial numbers, sources say
The suspect in Saturday’s shooting at Club Q in Colorado Springs was armed with a rifle and a handgun that both lacked serial numbers and appeared to be so-called “ghost guns,” 9Wants to Know has learned.
[…]
It is not yet clear whether the suspect may have manufactured those weapons or whether they could have been purchased or assembled from parts available on the internet.
And yet… we have multiple reports the shooter lawfully purchased his rifle.
Not “built.”
See, the thing is that Colorado has a universal background check law. It requires even private buys to go through a licensed dealer, who has to log the firearm “as if he or she were transferring the firearm from his or her inventory to the prospective transferee.”
To do that, the firearm(s) has to have a serial number.
Someone is spewing bull byproducts. I don’t know if its this “ghost gun” claim, or the “lawfully purchased” reports. I think I’ll drop a reporter a note.

10 Ways To OWN Your Conservative Relatives At Thanksgiving This Year https://babylonbee.com/news/10-ways-to-own-your-conservative-relatives-at-thanksgiving-this-year
Hope it went well, and many Americans are grateful as all get out there are such uncles. We think they’re the bee’s knees. <Tiny joke there….
I think you meant to comment on my other post.
I have to admit that I did once get called “the greatest uncle ever!”, but that was when I hauled out a significant portion of my old fireworks stash one July 4th.
I used to be the cool uncle too. But my parents passed away, and I was the executor to the will, and they passed away in debt, but owning a couple of homes. One sold to a grand daughter on land contract, and the other their family home, with a mortgage.
My 4 siblings were quite content to let me deal with the mess. I could not even get them to pay me 100$ each to start with a lawyer.
I am the youngest, of the 5, and it took me nearly 5 years to get the land contract taken care of, which was not only delinquent, but the taxes were almost to foreclosure stage. Then I had to get the house paid down to where it was worth enough to sell and pay the mortgage. My sister convinced me to rent to another niece, who stopped paying, and I was left paying over 4K out of my own pocket for that.
Plus the taxes that I paid out of my pocket for the other home. The entire thing cost me probably 10 grand when it was all over with.
Oh, and I almost forgot, I lost my job of 35 plus years during this time. So I say, I used to be the cool uncle. And I still am to one of the nieces, that I always have looked out for. My twin brother’s daughter, that he sort of ignored, since he has alcohol problems.
When it all shook out, I sent each sibling a check for about 400$ to show that there was a good faith effort on my part to divide up the estate the way my parents wanted it to be done. I never got a reply from a single one.
Thanksgiving is not my favorite time of year anyway. I will try and link to the story of what happened in my shop on a Thanksgiving Day, 1987. I am in Michigan, but the story hit all the major newspapers, in other parts of the world as well. And while not accurate, it tells enough.

Don’t feel alone….I was about 50 when I realized that “dysfunctionalfamily” was 2 words. That was almost 30 years ago. About the same time I met a Jewish Republican who supported the 2nd Amendment. He told me there were others. There was no spaceship, we weren’t in Roswell Area 51 and I did not have the phone # to the Smithsonian. So I kept it to myself until I found this site. I can finally reveal the story. What a relief!
