--if a crime has been committed with a gun, what difference does the origin make?

[Jeff Chandler]

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.

So what, they found one in 2017 and ten this year?

[Flatus I. Maximus]

Kids these days. In my day you didn’t need any “Internet” or “ghost guns.” Any boy with a little mechanical aptitude and a basement or garage workshop could make a perfectly functional zip-gun in a matter of minutes, and amazingly, most of them survived the experience.

Just curious. How many ‘ghost guns’ were seized in 2017?

Experts are calling ghost guns the fastest-growing gun safety problem “in Democrat-run cities” in America.

Criminals are not being locked up for gun crime.

WE know that’s the right answer, but I doubt the author of the article does.

Crime statistics by demographics point to the root of the problem.

I once knew someone back in the 90s (allegedly) that was a smuggler in Costa Rica. He would smuggle blue jeans to Nicaragua and firearms back. With our porous border don’t you think it would be easy to smuggle AKs over? RPGs? Grenades?

Also, in most states private sales of firearms between two private citizens is not illegal. That means the trace ends with the first time it was sold by a FFL.

Tutorials online explain how to assemble the pieces into a fully functioning firearm with just basic tools in less than an hour.

Uh huh, Mr. or Ms. Journalist. Go ahead and demonstrate to us how that is done. I'll pay for the parts. Go ahead. We'll wait.

They've probably never heard of an 80% complete lower receiver, and the specialized tools it takes to complete that. Any receiver that is ready to go out of the box is already serialized and has to go through all of the FFL regulations required for transferring to an individual. But this breathless fantasy that all of you are repeating like parrots sure does make for some good (anti) gun porn.

What we need is sensible, reasonable liberal control.

[from occupied ga]

America does have any gun problems except the limited number of full auto weapons and their price. We do have a problem with malicious British busybodies sticking their noses into our Bill of rights and we have a real problem with home grown tyrants trying to remove our fundamental God given right to self defense.
