[Under the law, no manufacturer-stamped serial number is needed if you make a gun for personal use. ]
That doesn’t sound right.
It is...the serial numbers stamped are required to track the sale by a manufacturer.
Build your own and it doesn’t require tracking, because you manufactured it (albeit by buying a 90% lower) and aren’t transferring it.
Uppers plus 80% lowers, sounds like.
Hadn't been a problem for the previous 100 years and hasn't been a problem since.
There is no such thing as a "ghost gun", but if you want to see what they are talking about, google "80% lower".
It is true.....
Davy Crockett and Daniel Boone did not have SN’s on their rifles (or pistols).
I oppose nearly ANY gun law. This sounds like another bogus issue like “assault” rifles and “Saturday Night Specials”.
" ... shall not be infringed."
Well, it is.

It is the law. But, if you decide to sell it, it needs a serial number.
I have built several of these over the years both 1911s and AR-15s. All for my use.
The regulation of sound suppressors should be ended. It’s a health issue ...
What doesn't sound right is that ANY firearm would have to have a serial number on it. The Founders certainly never intended this or they would have said so in the Second Amendment.
If we shoot armed criminals in the head, it won't matter where they obtained their weapons.
If Kalifornia continues on its present path, we will have to have serial numbers on knives, clubs, pointy sticks, and soda straws.
“[Under the law, no manufacturer-stamped serial number is needed if you make a gun for personal use. ]

It is.
That is correct, you order an 80% finished receiver, do the work yourself, no SN. Selling it would then be a no-no. Believe it or not, I know several people who have done it, not speaking personally of course!
It’s the law.
Done it myself. Legally you can make one, just one. My wife has to make her own, I can’t do it for her. Once made it cannot be sold or transferred it has to be destroyed to get rid of it.
True, but if you are going to sell/transfer you have to serialize it as I understand it.
Its true. You can by 40% and 60% milled AR receivers..... and finish milling them yourself using your home tools.
They even make jigs designed to finish milling out thise receivers.
If you make your own it is yours....like bajing your own cake for yourself.
The “ghostgun” stuff is newly named to scare people.
No, that’s absolutely correct, and you can even sell such guns; the ATF freely admits this (though encouraging you to serialize your guns, supposedly to help establish ownership if they’re stolen). However, note the “personal use” caveat. You can’t make a hundred a year and sell them, because then it would be clear you’re manufacturing as a business and would, under current law, require a license. So this article, while on the edge of technical correctness, is a wildly misleading tempest in a teapot. Also note how they’ve dishonestly substituted “ghost guns” for “ghost gun kits” in several places, not to mention the very choice of the phrase “ghost gun” in the first place.
