It’s not expensive or difficult to produce large numbers of untraceable firearms in the United States. Whether for private use, sale on the criminal market or arming violent extremists, it’s actually startlingly cheap and easy to mass-produce firearms that police can’t track — what are often called “ghost guns.”
For just over $2,000 I can buy a machine — not much bigger than a desktop laser printer — that will do the trick. If I’m feeling handy, I can get it done with just simple power tools.
As I discuss in a recent journal article about ghost guns, it’s perfectly legal to privately manufacture firearms without a license in the U.S. But it’s illegal to sell or give away privately manufactured firearms without a license.
A person producing a single “ghost gun” for their own personal use may not rise to the level of official concern, but the undetected mass production of untraceable weapons makes it much more difficult to map and disrupt the illicit markets that supply guns for use in crime.

This is all nonsense.
We added over 20 million guns to the private stock in the United States last year.
A few tens of thousands of homemade guns do not make a difference.
But, they show the Government is still limited, rights mean things. Laws mean things.
Any limit on government power is a horror to Leftists.
“But it’s illegal to sell or give away privately manufactured firearms without a license.”
So...there are already restrictions on “ghost guns”, at least for the law-abiding. What makes this asshat think that criminals will care about new laws?
It accomplishes nothing.
Almost no crimes are solved with gun tracing; the costs are enormous for almost no benefit.
Do they even try to trace gang guns in Chicago? Why not trace illegal voting?
What are the stats on ghost guns being used in crimes? That’s what I thought.
I have a better idea; why not trace criminals?

That would be racist.
The number isn’t zero. Very low, but gangs have been known to manufacture them.
Too bad the anti-gunners are pro-criminal. If we could deal appropriately with violent felons, there would be no gun “problem.”

12 year old boys can bang out rough AK pattern rifles using scrap metal in Afghanistan in a few hours.
And they work well enough.
I’m just saying.

It might make better sense than what they are doing(and accomplishing nothing)now. Almost anything can be called “racist” if you look at it a certain way. Which is more important?....tracking down criminals & their actions or possibly offending someone who is looking at all the different ways they could be “offended”. I’m offended when someone who should be jailed gets off on a technicality; or perhaps is never even arrested. There seems to be a lot of that going around these days.
I love 80% lower mfgs.
