Biden: I support the Second Amendment
Ghost Gun Buster
So-called Ghost Guns, those privately manufactured without registration or identification numbers, are the new Shiny Object in Gun Control.
After all, Justice Department statistics show that nearly 24,000 ghost guns were recovered by law enforcement at crime scenes from 2016 to 2020. That’s about 6K a year. Compare this with the some 478,400 gun uses in crimes reported in 2011 alone.
So PINO Joe has decided to ban Ghost Guns; his rational being unserialized firearms are difficult to trace to the point of purchase. That this is an issue just doesn’t add up, as the overwhelming preponderance of firearms used in crime are black market- procured through illegal means. Adding more illegal guns won’t affect the criminals.
But stopping criminals has never been, and isn’t now, the objective.
NRA slams Biden’s ‘hollow’ ghost gun rule, not ‘sincere’ until criminals are put behind bars
The Biden administration plans to reclassify gun kits to qualify as firearms
By Emma Colton
The NRA slammed the Biden administration’s expected new rule cracking down on “ghost guns,” arguing the administration is not “truly sincere” on curbing violent crimes until criminals are put behind bars.
“An administration that’s truly sincere and resolute about curbing violent crime rates would do one thing: take violent criminals off the streets immediately,” the NRA’s managing director of public affairs Andrew Arulanandam told Fox News Digital on Monday. “Yet, the Biden administration allows these criminals who kill and maim with callous and reckless abandon, again and again, to roam the streets of Baltimore, Philadelphia, Chicago, New York, San Francisco and other cities large and small across our country without fear of prosecution and punishment.”
President Biden is slated to unveil gun control measures Monday, specifically cracking down on “ghost guns,” which are privately made and don’t have serial numbers.
The Biden administration plans to reclassify gun kits to qualify as firearms under the Gun Control Act, requiring manufacturers to be licensed and include serial numbers on the kits. Commercial sellers will also be required to run background checks before sales of the kits, according to senior administration officials.
Could have sworn Congress, not the President, enacts laws. And the Federal government cannot abridge the citizen’s right to bear arms. Or make them. SeeYa in court, Joe.

If the left can’t define a Woman, how can they define a Ghost gun?, let alone a Weapon/Arms…
A woman can be a weapon as a weapon can be a woman!
Nice, you just pointed out what we can call Joe’s Folly. 
In Ancient History or Myth as the Left calls it, a Woman was the first weapon used by the Serpent against Man and then Gen:6 1-4 with the Watchers teaching knowledge of the dark arts caused further chaos before the flood, but that’s another story that blows the lefts mind.
the ghost gun can define itself as a slingshot, ladle, spatula etc so now it’s legal.
After all it worked for that guy who joined the swimming team
Shall not!

I miss John Ward more than I miss my own family.
Ok, not a fair comparison. I miss John Ward more than I miss the smell of leaded gas out of the tailpipe on a 440/6-pack with a trunk full of South Carolina’s finest illegal fireworks, screaming up the Garden State Parkway doing bumps off of fake mammaries while Skynyrd blasts from the quadrophonic.
Oh yeah, I’m wearing an American flag speedo and cowboy boots. End of list.
Problem: “Adding more illegal guns won’t affect the criminals.”
Solution: Manufacture more criminals.
Well before the boating accident, a number of my weapons were many years old in 1968. In fact several pre-dated the 1934 NFA. So the serial numbers probably weren’t traceable.
There are millions of guns in this country that do not have traceable serial numbers because they predate the 1934 Act. I have a rifle and a shotgun both made in 1913 that I have shot in Cowboy Action matches for the past 30 years. I doubt either of them could be traced. Moreover, antique firearms manufactured prior to 1898 are not ever covered by the 1934 Act and its amendments. Thus, they may be shipped or transferred with no background check under federal law, yet they still can be used to commit a crime.
All their gun control schemes have no effect on crime. But then their laws are not really designed to disarm criminals anyway.
I have a 1950’ish Stevens Over/Under .410/.22 minus a gender designating serial number. It was given to me at age 12 for wabbit hunting.
I have a couple of .22’s my father bought me when I was in high school back in the early 1960’s. The store where he bought them has been out of business since the 1970’s. Somehow, I doubt the ATF has the ability to trace them to me.
Again, it is NOT about the control of the gunz, it IS about the control of “We, The People.” They wouldn’t be trying to take away the gunz if they were not planning on doing things that would make “We, The People” want to shoot them. The 2A was put into the Constitution to allow “We, The People” to defend themselves against an oppressive grubermint. Molon Labe, mofos….bring SCUBA Gear.
Saw an article today headlined that ‘ghost guns’ are the CRIMINALS’ WEAPON OF CHOICE!!!! – I’m not that old but I remember when CWOC was any handgun, then “Saturday Night Specials” then 9mms, the high-capacity magazines, then AR-15s, not forgetting that ‘cop-killer bullets’ made the list too. Seems like a CWOC is defined as ‘whatever we think we can get away with banning now.’ (In the real world, the CWOC is whatever can be conveniently acquired which will do the job they want it to. Usually whatever is popular with civilians at that point in time.)
Common sense 3D printer and Home Depot control.
It’s for the kids!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
It is already a federal felony to transfer a weapon without a serial number. Only the person who completed it may possess it legally. I have a great deal of difficulty believing the dirtbags who have committed a crime with a “ghost” gun did the machine work to make the receiver work. I also would like to know if that 24K ghost gun statistic includes guns that have had their serial numbers removed.
This is just the precursor to registration. By “untraceable” they mean “unregistered”.
Which is how they excuse their totally illegal database of old sales records. It’s not “registration”, just “traceability”.
And of course, “traceability” will inevitably become “turn those in”. Because when they speak of “the wrong hands”, they of course mean yours.
Remember, “no amendment is absolute”.
Like the Thirteenth?
Time for some states to un/de/dis-ratify the 16th. Just a handful of states would be required to torpedo the ship of

rgr – not 100% – GCA68 required all funs to be serial numbered. Prior to that it was not 100% required on all long guns (for instance. I had a perfectly legal Winchester .22 target rifle with no number though manufactured 20 years after ’34.
Re the serial numbers defaced – the gun control guys lump all hard-to-trace guns in one category – no serial numbers, apparently invalid numbers, defaced or missing numbers. Filed off numbers are the majority – I have seen estimates that the 80%/”ghost” guns are actually about 5-10% of the total, making it a few hundred a year. Call it 1-2 per day. Defaced serial numbers to make it hard to trace a gun? Around since serial numbers were first added to guns.
Thanks for the info. I know from regularly watching crime TV programs that it is not unusual for the police to recover firearms with the serial numbers defaced or removed. Sometimes, a CSI lab can recover them. But in most crimes that are committed with semi-auto firearms, tracing a serial number is unnecessary because there are shell casings at the crime scene. When the weapon is recovered and the casings are matched to the gun and ballistics tests match the gun to the bullets, the authorities frequently know who used the gun in the shooting. It always surprises me how common it is for the police to find the shooter still in the possession of the gun or someone the shooter gave it to that rats him out. In such cases serial number tracing is never performed; it is a waste of time and resources. I also find that in murder cases, the gun violation charges are frequently dropped in state prosecutions.
All I want to know is that if I hear a noise in my backyard at night and take my shotgun and fire it off my back porch into the darkness and I kill some 12 year old trying to sneak back into house after curfew does that make it a ghost gun?
Only on Haloween.
Com’on, man, ya gotta fire both shots from your double barrel, so that you are holding an empty gun in one hand and that other “gun” in the other hand. That’s “Sheriff” Joe’s SOP for home self-defense from crime. But in your scenario, you may have created a ghost.
Same old same old BS from the left.
The run is on for 80% receivers. Try finding one – at least at a reasonable price. Thankfully, I put back several aluminum paper weights.
I need to start wearing an empty holster OWB. Make people ask “W-T-F?!” I’ll tell them it’s my unregistered, no s/n, “ghost gun”.
Then watch the fun and hilarity ensue.
