Should "ghost guns" be eliminated?

You are, as usual, wrong.

And to think all this time I thought it was just me that thought that.

That is absolutely not true at all.

Nothing he says is true in any way
Nothing

Nothing he says is true in any way
Nothing

Now that is undeniably true

So called ghost guns are ending up in the hands of felons who can not buy regular guns. Hey are ending up in every increasing crime scenes since the people who use them know they can not be traced. Biden is presently trying to have the kits that are used to make the ghost guns named as guns and not parts, nd require them to have serial numbers. Do yo agree with this, or do you want the ghost guns to continue to be "legal"?

I think the only real question is "Can" they be eliminated? I think the answer to that question is "No". LIke in all else, prohibition doesn't stop anyone intent on acquiring something illegally, be it drugs, guns of MP3s...

Sure they can - just make them illegal with no grandfather clause
I would remove mine and replace it with a serialized lower for $60 rather than do felony jail time and lose the privilege of gun ownership

Yeah, but would the criminals who already have them do the same thing?

I would hazard a guess that most are owned by regular folks.
Most criminals aren’t going to care at all - Hell, they don’t give a shit about penalties for the crimes they commit - why would they care about the guns?

Do you suppose a murderer or would-be-murderer will be as dilligent to stay within the law?

I mean, if you made cigarettes illegal I'm sure a number of people will stop smoking too, but that isn't the argument I was making. Unless you are planning to go murder people with your current ghost gun, the law would accomplish zero in your case other than make you spend $60 to replace your lower.
