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.

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.
