A GOP Senate candidate in Missouri is raffling off a machine capable of printing untraceable gun parts as part of a push to demonstrate his support for the Second Amendment.

Austin Petersen’s campaign announced Tuesday that it would give away a Ghost Gunner 2, which allows users to print and assemble guns at home. The firearms are known as "ghost guns" because they are printed without serial numbers, rendering them untraceable by the government.

“I think the new prize may trigger a few more liberals and mainstream media than it did last time,” Petersen said in a release.

The candidate was briefly banned from Facebook after advertising giveaways of AR-15 rifles earlier in his campaign, as the social media network prohibits the exchange of firearms or ammunition between individuals. Petersen, a longtime libertarian, is running as a Republican on a pro-gun platform.

1. What a useless POS! n/t

[Sherman A1]

3. I believe

that he would have to improve by several magnitudes to reach that level.

2. I wish Hawley felt he had to do something even more outrageous to win the nomination.

It would make it less difficult for McCaskill

4. "trigger" a liberal...

by creating untraceable guns...

I sure hope he can be there to explain to the next of kin of a murder victim by one the these printable guns exactly why it is that the police and FBI really can't help identify or bring to justice the shooter because "no serial numbers and no record of sales, etc"

Ain't freedom from gubmint tyranny wonderful?

7. Let us hope that MS-13 wins the prize

5. Another repug with blood soon to be

on his hands. Sick fucks.

[Paladin]

6. Gun-addled shit for brains.

Here's hoping he gets exactly what he deserves for this sick little stunt.

8. The phrase, "A special place in Hell" comes to mind. (n/t)

9. Added work and costs for law enforcement

should be recoverable. If they can trace them.

[LoisB]

10. Instead of running on trying to "trigger a few more liberals", why not run on

trying to do something to help your potential constituents? I don't understand the point of doing or saying things just to make someone else angry. He is much too stupid to be in public office. Hell, he's much too stupid to be in public PERIOD.

11. Well said. I would add that he is dangerous also.

[chowder66]

12. I wonder how that would go if say MO's black population showed up in droves. Pretty sure he might

get a bad case of Snowflake Syndrome.

13. Responsible gun owners.

[Red Mountain]

14. Untraceable gun parts support unsolvable crimes and terrorism

Guess this guy supports MS-13, Al Qaeda and Isis.

They would LOVE to be able to print their own weapons after sneaking into the country.

[AnnieBW]

15. And when someone is killed with one of these printable guns

He'll send them his thoughts and prayers.

16. Doesn't trigger me. Anyone who uses one of those guns in his area

Is going to “trigger” instant questioning of the winner of that raffle.
