Ghost guns appear to be most prevalent in California,
where there are restrictions on assault weapons that make it difficult to buy guns that are available in other states.
Bingo!!

It’s already illegal for one person or group to make them with an intent to sell them. Making more than a very few of them without serial numbers will get attention and an investigation.
Making one or a very few of them with no original intent to sell them is said to be legal, and that’s of no use to criminals or antagonistic foreign interests. So making another law against making your own weapon with or without a serial number won’t be of any help to law and order.
Here’s what’s happening in practicality. Generally, criminals aren’t technically inclined. They’re lazy minded and uneducated. But if it becomes too easy or attractive for *many* of them to make many weapons, they’ll produce them for evil purposes and make trouble for everyone. So at least make it a challenge for the technically inclined and keep it that way.

Ghost guns have been in the spotlight since a Northern California man, who was prohibited from possessing firearms because of a restraining order, killed five people in a November rampage using semiautomatic rifles that he made himself, police say. Other gunmen have employed the weapons as well. In 2016, a Baltimore man fired at police with a homemade AR-15, and Santa Monica shooter John Zawahri used a ghost gun in his shooting spree that killed five in 2013.Apparently "ghost guns" don't help you get away with a crime any better than factory-made guns or all of these guys would have gotten away and no one would know their names.

Guns are rather simple devices, after all.....always wondered if it occurred to the gun grabbers that people would just make them if they couldn’t buy them.
