Ghost guns banned by Los Angeles City Council

The City Council Tuesday unanimously approved an ordinance to prohibit the possession, purchase, sale, receipt and transportation of "ghost guns" in Los Angeles.

The ordinance prohibits the possession, purchase, sale, receipt or transport of a non-serialized unfinished firearm frame or receiver or non- serialized firearm. Such weapons -- known as "ghost guns" because they are virtually untraceable -- can be assembled by unlicensed buyers from legally purchased kits.

If any gun owner still lives in LA, I would ask WHY?!

You don’t say? Under what authority?

[gitmo]

to manufacture a product that will lead to death, destruction,

That is not why the people I know have what these clowns are calling ghost guns.

Do you have a license for that shovel?

And it’s generally accepted that making a working firearm with a ‘ghost gun’ 80% receiver costs more than just buying a finished receiver, even after the transfer fees (including jigs and extra tools required).

Some people just view the 80%’s as ‘backup’ options for when the inevitable letters arrive discussing ‘options’ for the items they said they weren’t tracking.

Someone has a MG license for a shoelace.

[smokingfrog]

Where is the serial number? LoL

[GreyHoundSailor]

All my 80% lowers have a serial number -1776.

The classic on this is the guy who basically blacksmithed an AK receiver from a shovel blade.

Will L.A. make shovels illegal as ghost guns?

[ctdonath2]

Ghost armory:

(20" solid steel cube. There's a lotta guns in that space, just have to remove the bits that aren't.)

[ctdonath2]

I believe it’s stamped on the metal clamped onto the string. IIRC it really was registered.

[Jonny7797]

So they made a hunk of metal illegal. Seeing how they are forcing people to stick chemicals in their vain’s, I guess making a hunk of metal illegal is a gimme.

I am the proud owner of a set of steel letter/number embossing stamps.

[Do_Tar]

It’s scary when we look to the ATF to protect 2A rights.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Totally unenforceable.
