    last time I talked to my dad he was full QAnon bonkers, and also building ghost guns (untraceable AR 15s and AR 18s) in his garage

    Might be worth getting him to supply you a couple before the magats go full kristallnacht on everyone they think is a “Lib” (or LGBTQ, or black, or brown or, or or…)

      … I haven’t talked to him in years because he is a dangerous lunatic, abusive narcissist asshole who’s fucked over my life and the lives of other people he supposedly cares abouy many times, he was already great at lying and gaslighting before Trump came along.

      If I felt I needed such a weapon, I could assemble one myself.

      But there’s really no point to going to all the trouble he did to avoid serial numbers… unless you actively plan on picking up a bunch of weapons charges in addition to the charges for whatever crime you committed with the gun…

      … unless you are astonishingly lucky and/or good at opsec and concealing whatever you actually use the weapon for… and can successfully dump/destroy then weapon, and have a good alibi, etc etc…

      He… also doesn’t seem to realize that… he still had to buy parts and assemble them… and all those parts can be traced … he wasn’t getting recievers and milling/tapping tools and shit shipped to him cross country via a cash transaction lol, he was using a card, online, and even if he was using dark web crypto markets, which I am 99.99% sure he is too computer incompetent to figure out, well those dark web markets get hacked (by the FBI/DHS/INTERPOL) and busted fairly frequently.

      He’s already got a criminal record from DUIs. If he actually ever used one of those ARs for anything other than hunting animals, even legitimate self defense, he’d end up in prison.

          Part of me wants to yell at you for … not understanding what kind of person a QAnon nutter who makes ghost guns is…

          The other part is gonna try to just say: Yeah, I legitimately have been fairly recently diagnosed with PTSD… and I’m just gonna try to calm down.
