There is no reason for a person to have a gun that can not be registered. If you can't register it, you don't need it.

Max DeYoung

Guns should only be feared by criminals. Our justice system has protected criminals and prosecuted Hero's.

'ghost gun' is a term created to fear monger the public. before the GCA of 1968 almost all guns were unserialized. Serializatin rarely helps in solving any crime, it just tels yuo who the gun was stolen from. Self made firearms get used in less than 0.01% of crimes.

Max DeYoung

No where in the Constitution is a requirement for a serial number on a weapon. The requirement for serial numbers on firearms began in 1958, and only applied to licensed manufacturers and importers. Firearms made before the Gun Control Act of 1968 do not need to be marked with a serial number.

Will Mason

I dont see exceptions for ghost weapons in the constitution. "Shall not be infringed" does not include exceptions.

There should be an exam if you want a gun, you should prove that you are not crazy and that you know the law, heck, you should have to be taught how to use one like you are taught how to drive.

Can't imagine what it would be like if only the criminals had guns and our lax prosecution of criminals.

Max

Only fools and criminals want gun control.

Lisa Gore

Shall not be infringed upon. Our constitutional rights to bear arms.

Max

We need to enforce the laws we have and punish criminals, not law abiding citizens.

Lisa Gore

Truth, start with Washington DC and even in Missouri...with enforcing voter integrity, I felt like my last vote last Tuesday May have not counted without getting a receipt. Machines can give one.

Police say the guns, one of which was used in a Kansas City-area school shooting, are practically untraceable and available to anyone.

Shouldn’t have to explain it.

Music One

Any gun that can not be traced should be illegal and there should be no way to get ahold of one.

Adam

Of course! Let's put more guns in hands of criminals... especially ones that are untraceable. Duh!

Steve Baumann

They already are banned, this is a fairly ignorant question. Similar to some of the responses.....

Max

If they were illegal, the BATF would be arresting the people selling these kits, at the gun shows. These Kit guns are legal, and ghost gun is a fabricated term, to make them sound evil. We need crime control, not gun control.

Max

This is why it may come as a surprise to many that it is entirely legal to make and own a homemade gun. Federal law, under The Gun Control Act of 1968 (GCA), requires that persons "engaged in the business" of dealing in firearms must be licensed in order to do so.

The weapons, available in kits at gun shows and online, are legal in all but a few states.

60 Missouri Peace Officers Associations wanted to enforce illegal Federal Firearm Laws. More than 540 Missouri Peace Officers Associations disagreed. This is an attempt to override the 2nd Amendment. It's time to punish criminals, not law abiding Americans. Lets get rid of this phony administration.

Steve Baumann

"Ghost Guns" are already illegal when assembled. I agree, this is a lame attempt at the 2nd.
