Speaking of ghost guns, is there any semi-accurate estimate of how many ghost receivers have been bought in the last 20 years or so that they’ve been a thing? You buy the receiver for the weapon,cash in person, of course. No record tying you to that ghost receiver. With this receiver, you get a plastic guide to drill holes and route the receiver with $300 worth of router and drill press investment.
Then you add all the parts, again, purchased in cash. No records. A Glock is a simple gun to build, as is the ak-47. The AR-15 and 1911 ghost guns are more complex but plenty of videos I suspect to assist newbies.
How many ghost ARs, AKs, Glocks and 1911s, as well as whatever other guns popular for ghost building, are out there?
I know I’ve seen a well known felon in my town at the store wearing a shirt that shows how to assemble a ghost glock. Where do ya think he got that shirt? On the discount rack at TJ Maxx? More likely it came with his purchase of parts. I’m pretty sure this fella don’t care about any laws, much less gun control laws.
What do we do about this, Michael? It’s a problem.
I’ll add that, in light of the recent SCOTUS ruling on bump stocks, any gun control efforts will be stymied until the composition of the Court changes. Regardless of Congress and Executive Orders.
I don't know enough about them to know if they represent a legitimate problem or if they're still too fringe to make an impact. Broadly speaking, though, I want to remove as many guns from the general population as possible, so that would include ghost guns. That being said, I am not anti-gun in the sense that people may think. I don't care about guns. I care about the violence people create with them. If we can figure out a way to reduce gun violence AND allow everybody to keep their weaponry, that's fine with me, too. But I don't see how a nation awash in killing machinery can take meaningful steps to reduce the mayhem they case without reducing the numbers of gun available for easy purchase. As many have pointed out, if more guns equalled a safer country, we'd have the safest country on earth.

I have no idea what to do about ghost guns - thankfully, I don't have to write legislation.
I’ll add that, in light of the recent SCOTUS ruling on bump stocks, any gun control efforts will be stymied until the composition of the Court changes. Regardless of Congress and Executive Orders.
Would you agree that we must include ghost guns in any violence reduction strategy?

Thanks. Mostly agree. But I also think it’s not all about the guns. It’s about the finger pulling the trigger. Our populace scares me, more than guns.
A brief clip showing effective gun control.
