If criminals are in prison, why perform background checks on law abiding citizens?

I say we should ride roughshod over the First Amendment and start locking up and silencing all Liberals who wish to debate the dangers of firearms.

Then, after that goal has been achieved, I think we should debate the dangers of firearms. And I wouldn’t expect anyone at that time to voice support for infringing.

“The number of ghost guns recovered from crime scenes by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), has risen by more than 1,000% since 2017.”

I’d imagine crimes from Democrat transsexuals has also gone up 1,000%. Clearly something must be done to protect innocent citizens from Democrat transsexuals.

Ghost guns are coming under fire from gun-control advocates.

Bullshit. This isn't reporting, it's advocacy.

Experts are calling ghost guns the fastest-growing gun safety problem in America.

Sure. Anti-gun "experts" are slinging crap at a record rate.

Failure to prosecute CRIMINALS, and sentence them accordingly, is "America's fastest-growing gun problem"!

Undermining the nuclear family,
failing to educate children in the fundamentals of life's skill sets,
failure to hold kids accountable for their behavior,
failure to steep children in Faith in God and understand God's laws,

Fix these failures, and watch the "gun problem" go away.

I wonder if these might be the kind of guns that Hunter Biden buys...since he’s a druggie and can’t legally buy a gun.

Experts? Experts on what subject? In this case, "experts" = Leftist/Fascist, freedom hating hoplophobes.

Not sure about New York to which Mr. Yambo presumably chose to immigrate, but in most states, it is lawful to build a firearm for your own use. What is illegal is selling firearms you have made yourself, without being licensed and putting permanent serial numbers on the firearms that track to their creation and where they went. So the idea that no laws exist is bs. You can bet that the majority of crime guns they find were NOT built by the user in mom;s basement.
They were purchased from gangstas building guns for sale to criminals. The ATF just isn’t doing its job of enforcing the existing laws. Nothing new there.

If “ghost guns” have no identification to help LEO track crime guns, how do they know who is making them? Are they smuggled in from abroad, like the tons of fentanyl? Why don’t we require illegal dope manufacturers and smugglers to identify themselves on their products too, along with a convenient place they can be arrested?

Maybe, if our right to possess and carry firearms wasn’t under constant attack by the left, there wouldn’t be such a demand for guns the government can’t track.

I would be willing to bet that these “experts” are combining guns that have been made without serial numbers, legally and privately, with commercially-manufactured guns that have had their serial numbers illegally obliterated. There just aren’t that many people making their own weapons, and most of those people aren’t likely to use the guns in crimes.

How many illegals get guns?

Chinese illegals, too.

Military aged illegals.

The term "ghost guns" was cobbled up by a brain dead California politician. It is a label applied to a firearm that is assembled by a private individual starting with an 80% or less complete firearm receiver. Significant milling and drilling is required to finish to 100% ready for use. The 80% or less chunk of metal or plastic does not have a manufacturer's serial number and isn't tracked in the inventory of any manufacturer or FFL. The lack of registration terrifies the gun hating leftist politicians.

I don't have the right tooling to finish an 80% receiver, nor is it a good use of my time. I can buy a 100% receiver with serial number and fill out a Form 4473 for half the price of the 80% that requires substantial extra work. The only thing the FFL has is a registered chunk of metal. There is only an inkling of what it might become after I install a parts kit.

I seriously doubt that petty criminals are going to invest the time and money to do the finish work on an 80% receiver. It's easier to purchase a stolen firearm on the streets. The fear porn from politicians about "ghost guns" is just publicity seeking demagoguery.

If it weren't for untraceable weapons, maybe Sollozzo and McCluskey would have lived.
