Well at first while I realize it is illegal I thought man that's pretty bad to send him to prison for making guns in his own home. Then after it said that he was selling them I thought well if you play with the bull...

Correct. The news story should read man sentenced for selling guns without a license that he made at home.
It is 100% legal to make guns for yourself at home. You CAN sell them, but you have to engrave serial numbers on them on the correct parts of the gun and get a federal license first prior to selling them. If you do that, then you are legal.
Ghost guns are NOT illegal to make/own/use. It's when you sell them without serial numbers and the correct licenses to make them and sell them is where the illegal part begins.

My boss showed an add for 80% 1911 frames. I said why bother we could make the whole frame and skip buying their fixtures.
Same with a billet 7075 AR. They would have been a piece of cake on the Makino CNCs I programmed and ran.
I thought the guy got off really light. 2 years does not seem that long for all he was charged with. The ATF is taking away gunsmiths livelihood over clerical errors. He made and sold guns and parts to make full autos.
