Up front I want to reiterate that I do not support any restrictions on firearms, none, notta, zip.
I read another article about a 14yr old who shot and killed a playground worker with a handgun that I presume was built from an 80% frame. The article referred to it as a ghost gun.
It made me wonder about the avenues prohibited persons use to acquire a firearm. The 80% route for a handgun seems like the easiest and least risky route. Stealing one is immoral and fraught with risk. Buying one under the table could be risky as well. A straw purchase may be difficult for a younger person to make happen.
It doesn't surprise me that 80% percent builds are becoming the firearm of choice for young gang bangers and other unsavory characters.
