President Joe Biden is launching a phantom crusade against so-called ghost guns. They don’t exist. It sounds like something from Star Wars, but never count Democrats out for inventing stuff out of thin air. Regardless, the Biden Administration is tasking the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives for tweaking the current federal statutes to curb gun rights for law-abiding Americans. That’s always the byproduct of any lefty anti-gun push. And now, The Reload has obtained a 100-page copy of the proposed rules the ATF is poised to enact. The Reload is the current outfit for Stephen Gutowski, who was formerly with the Washington Free Beacon as their firearms reporter. For now, it looks like the Biden folks are working to tweak the meaning of a firearm receiver:

This is bound to be one of the many salvos fired by this administration on gun control. It’s not a gun grab per se—but always keep an eye out when Democrats start talking about firearms, ghost guns, and other made-up terms. For example, Biden again has called for the elimination of so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines, the latter of which would be an essential ban of most firearms, including handguns, that are commonly owned by civilians.

“One court example included in the document said a part completed in “around an eight-hour working day in a properly equipped machine shop” was considered “readily” convertible.” You could make the whole gun in that time.

See? Plain lump of steel now == unlicensed gun!

I think ghost guns are bad because you can’t tell if the safety is on because you can’t see it.
