Teen, gran in ghost-gun bust The Squad slanders Israel
A Connecticut teenager and his grandfather have been charged with running a ghost-gun operation out of their backyard, cops said.
Cops in East Hampton, Conn., were tipped off by a neighbor who said a teen had been illegally manufacturing AR-15 assault rifles.
Clayton Hobby, 18, was identified as a suspect, and investigators later learned that his grandfather, Kerry Schunk, 64, was working with him, East Hampton police said.
Authorities seized multiple ghost AR-15 rifles in “various stages of assembly,” including one that was converted to shoot fully automatic, according to officials.
Three ghost polymer handguns, 15 high capacity magazines, and approximately 1,000 rounds of ammunition were also seized, police said.
Ghost guns are weapons that are built from a kit that is untraceable. Jesse O’Neill Members of The Squad of far-left House lawmakers have called on the US government to describe the events surrounding Israel’s founding with the Palestinian term “Nakba,” an Arabic word meaning “catastrophe.”
The resolution, authored by Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.), demands the US “commemorate the Nakba through official recognition and remembrance,” while claiming that the word also refers to “an ongoing process of Israel’s expropriation of Palestinian land and its dispossession of the Palestinian people.”
The status of the West Bank has long been one of the flashpoints in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Sen. Rick Scott (R-Fla.) reacted angrily to the resolution, tweeting, in part: “Israel is our great ally & the continued anti-Semitism from radical socialists in the House is horrific.”
