What is a ghost gun?


I got myself a seniors' GPS.
Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination,
it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Home made, no serial number, i.e. 3D printed or machined.

A gun they can't trace, bought without paperwork.

Media refers to the guns made with 80% lowers as ghost guns.

Just wondered, a ghost gun was used to murder two people in our general area. Thanks for the replies.

I always thought that was funny considering the number of used guns sold though private sale. Serial numbers weren't even required before Oct 1968 so are they all Ghost guns? Apparently grampa's old squirrel gun is a "Ghost" gun.

As far as I know most criminals use untraceable guns. I don't believe all the data bases have ever been all that successful at tracking down shooters.

it has always been legal to build your own firearm.

it is like murder hornet , a media term to instill fear.

do you remember killer bees , we were all going to die from killer bees in the 80s

Assault weapon another media term to instill fear.

they want to convince you the very broken list works and will save you while as it stands the National Instant Crime search NICs has supplied more prohibited persons with guns than people have built for personal use.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

You finish the gun it comes with the jigs and bits needed to make it work. No paperwork no serial numbers that come with it.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

And the accused was shot by a bystander that was concealed carrying. DA says no charges for the civilian shooter that stopped him.

I own lots of old guns that were made before serial numbers. I guess I'm dangerous because of my ghost guns.
