A Simple Plastic Tool Is Undermining New Ghost Gun Rules

It’s been less than a month since new federal rules took effect attempting to rein in the proliferation of so-called “ghost guns,” a catchall term for unserialized, home-built firearms that Democratic leaders, law enforcement officials, and gun control groups say are turning up in the hands of criminals across the United States.

But barely a few weeks into the new regulatory regime, the firearms industry has already adapted and scored an early legal victory. And gun enthusiasts have created and released open-source blueprints for a simple plastic tool that offers a relatively quick, easy—and apparently legal—workaround for anyone who still wants to build an untraceable weapon.

The tool, known as a jig, is designed to help with the assembly of the exact type of Glock-style pistol frames that the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms (ATF) is trying to restrict. One version was posted by Ethan Middleton, a Wisconsin-based 3D-printed gun file designer known online as Middleton Made.

“It’s the biggest middle finger to the ATF,” Middleton told VICE News. “Whatever they’re going to do, we’re going to try to find a way around it.”

The new ATF rules, announced by President Joe Biden earlier this year, are largely aimed at “kit guns,” which include a pistol frame and other essential parts, including a jig and other tools for home assembly. When frames come only partially complete (“80 percent” finished, with some holes left undrilled), they are not legally considered firearms, meaning they do not require a serial number and could be purchased without a background check in most states.

The new rules say that when an unfinished frame or receiver is “distributed, or possessed with a compatible jig or template,” it can be considered a firearm under the law because it makes completing the build process faster and easier. 

As a result, some retailers have responded by selling only the pistol frame alone, while others are selling kits that include the necessary parts and tools but no frame. Jigs are a common tool and factory-made versions are available online, but prices have climbed to over $100, making the 3D-printed version an extremely low-cost alternative.

As Sludge Pours from Mississippi Sinks, Biden Admin Seeks $13 Billion MORE for UKRAINE

According to Jackson Mayor Chokwe Antar Lumumba, although the water treatment plant finally failed in August, the system “has been failing for decades” and nothing is being done.

“I have said on multiple occasions that it’s not a matter of if our system would fail, but a matter of when our system would fail,” Lumumba said.

Even before it failed, the city had been on a months-long boil notice because of a warning over disease carrying bacteria in the water supply. Since 2016, officials knew about the corrosion of the system and inadequate treatment — yet nothing was done — and now sludge pours from Jackson residents’ water taps.

Lumumba estimates that it would take roughly $1 billion to get the systems back up and running in a safe capacity but they don’t have it. This is particularly perplexing to many folks who have watched a record amount of US taxpayer dollars in recent months flow outside of the United States and into Ukraine.

Since the war in Ukraine began in February, Biden authorized $1.3 billion followed by an additional $13.6 billion. This original $15 billion of your tax dollars that got dumped into Ukraine to arm literal Nazis in the region was offensive enough but it was just the tip of the iceberg. In May, the House passed yet another massive spending bill, authorizing another $40 billion in your tax dollars to arm Nazis and keep the country at war. And they show no signs of slowing down.

Since then, various packages of cash and weapons of mass destruction, ranging from just a few hundred million to a billion, have flowed into the arms of welcoming Ukrainian politicians and military leaders.

In late August, the Pentagon announced that yet another $775 million would be sent to Ukraine. As Antiwar.com reported, this was the eighteenth weapons package to Ukraine in six months. But that wasn’t enough, apparently.

Biden extends 9/11 emergency

US President Joe Biden has renewed the national emergency declared by former president George W. Bush in the days following the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001 for another year.

The “terrorist threat” behind the attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people “continues,” Biden wrote in a Thursday memo published in the Federal Register, adding that the “powers and authorities adopted to deal with” the attacks “must continue in effect beyond September 14, 2022.” 

The 9/11 emergency declaration is just one of several Biden has extended this week alone. Also on Thursday, the president prolonged a national emergency he had declared the previous year regarding sectarian violence and human rights abuses in Ethiopia, while on Tuesday he announced the renewal of an emergency declared by his predecessor Donald Trump in 2018 regarding the threat of “foreign interference in or undermining public confidence in” US elections.

Biden Ambassador Co-Founded Epstein-Led, CCP-Tied Humpty Dumpty Institute

Constance Milstein, Joe Biden’s Ambassador to Malta, co-founded the shadowy Humpty Dumpty Institute, a globalist “non-profit” that has been led by the brother of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and is closely tied to the Chinese Communist Party.

Biden’s Ambassador to Malta, Constance “Connie” Milstein, co-founded the Humpty Dumpty Institute in 1998, along with Ralph Cwerman, William Rouhana, and Michael Sonnenfeldt. The latter of whom is the nephew of former US State Department official Helmut Sonnenfeldt, who was investigated in the 1960s for sharing American secrets with Israel.

From its birth, Mark Epstein, the brother of convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, had taken on a leading role in HDI, serving in high-level positions, including as HDI’s director and main financial backer, until at least 2019.

Though they’ve tried to scrub him from their public databases, Mark Epstein was listed on the Humpty Dumpty Institute’s website until as recently as December of 2020.

While serving as Biden’s Ambassador to Malta, Constance Milstein remains listed on the same Humpty Dumpty Institute website she formerly shared with Mark Epstein, and still appears on the active board of directors webpage, by the title of Board Chairman Emeritus.

As previously reported by National File, the Humpty Dumpty Institute is closely tied to the Chinese Communist Party and its People’s Liberation Army, through its partnership with the Taihe Institute “think tank.” Headquartered in Beijing, the Taihe Institute is led by high-level CCP members and PLA leadership. Members of the two groups, including current HDI board chairman Dr. Al Khalafalla, have even celebrated Chinese Communist revolutionary and mass murderer Mao Zedong, in a militaristic ceremony.

Apparently being himself no stranger to Joe Biden, Dr. Khalafalla attended Biden’s installation as America’s 46th President in January 2021, while national guard troops stood watch around the perimeter, to keep unticketed and unjabbed Americans out.

Biden Admin Is Placing Vending Machines Filled With Drug Supplies in Rural Kentucky

The Biden administration is set to spend $3.6 million to deploy vending machines filled with drug supplies in rural Kentucky—an effort the Biden administration claims will reduce stigma for drug users.

The project from the National Institutes of Health was launched in August and will study the effectiveness of “harm reduction kiosks” in rural Appalachia that contain “injection equipment, naloxone, fentanyl test strips, hygiene kits, condoms, and other supplies.” The vending machines allow drug users to obtain items such as syringes without interacting with a health professional, in hopes of eliminating the “stigma” that comes with visiting an in-person harm reduction facility, according to the health agency.

The White House referenced the project in an August 31 press release on its actions taken “to address addiction and the overdose epidemic.” The administration has adopted a wide range of harm reduction policies, which aim to make illicit drug use safer rather than eliminate it.

MSNBC Declares All Republicans a ‘Threat to Democracy’ – ‘We Are at War’

Joe Biden’s despicable speech against MAGA Republicans was the “permission” for those on the left to ratchet up the hate and the attacks even more, by demonizing and dehumanizing Americans.

Now MSNBC is following up on it and inciting against Americans. They falsely claimed that Republicans were calling for “violence.” Let’s listen to Roland Martin, as he declares that “we” are at war with fellow Americans because they are “evil.”

“We are at war with these people,” Martin declared. “These folks are evil. They have allowed evil into their house with Donald Trump.” He continued, “This evil is spreading. And when you are in a war footing, you have to respond accordingly. It is about time Joe Biden got tough. Stop being weak, stop being impotent, quit not fighting back. What these people want to do to this country is destroy democracy.”

Hey, Roland, the left can’t meme and you also suck at mood lighting. But your biggest problem is that you’re detached from reality and this proves it if we didn’t already know it. So what does “respond accordingly” mean? Sure sounds like he’s inciting against MAGA people. What do you do after you declare people evil? This is what Biden has given license to, to people who were already over the edge in their hatred of Republicans.

Just in case it isn’t clear, they don’t just mean “extremists” or however Joe Biden tried to soft-pedal it the day after not making any such distinctions for a week. They mean all Republicans are a “threat to democracy.”

Biden Covid Czar Says the Quiet Part Out Loud: “The Goal in My Mind is Not to Go Back to Normal, the Goal is to Build a Very Different New Normal”

Biden’s Covid Czar Dr. Ashish Jha on Friday said he doesn’t want life in the US to go back to normal.

Dr. Jha wants to build a ‘new normal’ that has “equity” at the heart of it.

The Biden Regime just says the quiet part out loud now.

“I’ve heard Secretary Cardona say this over and over again. You know, people do talk about going back to normal… and I’ve heard the secretary say, ‘well, you know, normal wasn’t working out so well every-for some people,” Jha said.

“So the goal in my mind is not to go back to normal, the goal is to build a very different new normal that has equity much more at the heart of it,” Dr. Jha said.

You gotta crack a few eggs…
