“Homemade firearms aren't any more dangerous than any other firearms. And for all relevant purposes, homemade firearms are treated like any other firearm under. The law because the frames and receivers in these kits are, in quotes, unfinished. None of the normal federal gun laws apply. No background checks, no licensing, no serial numbers, nothing. And since these kits are unregulated, anyone can purchase them. Minors, convicted felons, anti government extremists, violent white supremacists, foreign terrorists.” (01:34–01:44)
