SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- In the South Bay, the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office said, "assault weapons, machine guns, and ghost guns" (all illegal weapons), were seized from what they're calling a "sophisticated ghost gun factory."
Three people are now in custody, accused of running the operation out of a home in San Jose's Willow Glen neighborhood.
Ask residents in the neighborhood, and many feel there's an undeniable sense of safety across this small pocket of San Jose.
However, located a little more than a mile outside of Downtown Willow Glen's core is what authorities are calling a full-scale ghost gun factory.
Along Roy Avenue and inside what's being described as an "unassuming $1.6-million home," a small arsenal was recently uncovered.
Weapons seized included eight assault weapons, like AK and AR-style rifles, as well as two handguns.
"Ghost guns are completely off the grid basically," Councilmember Dev Davis told ABC7 News.
The house is located in her district. Councilman Davis said state laws will take effect on July 1, which will tighten ghost gun restrictions.
"There's actually a new law coming online in July, so that any un-serialized weapons or firearm parts will be illegal to have possession of," she explained.

= = =
So, if I disassemble an old single shot shotgun, and most of the parts do not have serial numbers, how much trouble am I in?
I would need SCUBA gear to do that, however.

Why are so called ghost guns illegal? I fail to see anything in the 2 A that says you may not make your own weapon and that it must have a serial number.

I agree. It almost sounds like some sort of constitutional right is being, i dunno, being infringed or something.

Lol. Very sophisticated. Cardboard boxes and a Harbor Freight drill press. I wonder what these idiots would imagine an unsophisticated arms factory would look like.

Pretty sure Councilperson Dev Davis would support having serial numbers on all her constituents too

So let me get this straight: The three were arrested for possession of weapons that were already illegal in the State of Kalifornia, yet a new law coming online in July would have stopped them from breaking the existing law?

Because “ghost guns” are scary and the average tofu eater will glom on to it and be afraid.
2A? That old thing... Doesn’t matter any more. It will mean as little as they want it to mean because no one takes it seriously and only violent nutters care.
*please don’t make me add a sarcasm tag, it should be obvious. But this is what they believe and this will not change until we “violent nutters” violently start defending our Rights*

From the photos, that doesn’t even look any more “sophisticated” than my reloading bench... Much less anything else in my shop.

I'm glad I read the article or I would have confused this with a state of the art Browning or Winchester factory.

The three making firearms are FELONS.
The problem is not ghost guns, but criminals on our streets due to weak justice.
