This is about control, not safety.
Anytime a politician says 'common sense', RUN the other way.
'Ghost Guns', just the latest buzzword, going back to 'Saturday Night Special', 'Cop-Killer Bullets', et cetera ad infinitum...
Anyone else hear the Scooby Doo theme song in their heads when Democrats prattle on about ghost guns?
It’s already out there for the feds to declare. Saw and ad for a natgeo “to catch a smuggler’ episode and some female(how would I know) is holding a pistol they’ve found in a package and boldly declares “IT’S A GHOST GUN!” Wonder they didn’t all run for cover. Don’t forget ‘shoulder goes up thingy assault weapon’.
Ghost gun bullets pass through objects.
Quite the conundrum for those making a Lowe's or Home Depot slam-fire shotgun, since just about everything they sell is imported. Even the lumber in many cases. Is a 2x4 12 gauge considered a sporting shotgun?
That the 'law' is unenforceable....................
It would only take a couple of real asshole prosecutor to stop this dead in it’s tracks, a simple search of the average household would yield enough miscellaneous supplies and household chemicals to Criminally Charge just about Everyone for possessing BOMB making materials and GHOST GUN Materials.

Can you buy one of these legally now? I might consider buying one before they get banned.
“What Joe Biden Is Not Telling You About Ghost Guns”
And what his is telling you are lies.
Like the 10-fold increase in reported “ghost guns”. As the video pointed out. the 20K+ reported “ghost guns” was over a five year period, not the one year that he implied.
Good luck finding one these days.
Salt Peter, Charcoal and Sulphur makes bombs. It’s not regulated. What is regulated is fuel oil and fertilizer that McVeigh used. Ghost guns are homemade kits, purchased parts at Home Depot and Lowes, and refined using lathes, drills, sanders, grinders, etc. In Pakistan, gun smithing is an art and they make replicas easily of pistols, rifles and military arms from scratch.
What it is about is us having to go through a background check for every firearm related item we purchase.
“In Pakistan, gun smithing is an art ...”
There are some very interesting videos of guns being made in these regions. For example:
Gun control is not about guns, it is about control.
Its also about building an illegal registry. While “ghost guns” is waved about, and truly is a concern, the rule change regarding 4473 forms is also a big deal.
No. You don’t “buy” these...you build them yourself for personal use. That’s the definition.
Lol
To liberals, guns are scary. Ghosts are scary. Used together, these words reinforce the gun control narrative by building on fear. It’s also perfect for demagoguery, by creating the false impression that all it takes is a $200 3D printer for every Trump supporter to whip out his own arsenal.
They also know the only people who will build their own firearm are people who will never support their views anyway, so there is no downside to pissing them off even more.
Ammonia and bleach aren’t regulated as far as I know. Nor matches, lighter fluid, candles, gasoline cans(soon to be replaced with electricity cans for when your EV goes dead), kerosene lamps.....
