> Joe Biden and the Democrats came down on ghost guns today instead of the criminals who use firearms to kill people. > What Is a Ghost Gun? > The term “ghost gun” was probably made up by the same type of person who coined the term “assault weapon.” It’s meant to sound scarier than it really is. > A ghost gun is a self-assembled firearm, constructed with parts that do not have serial numbers and are thus untraceable, meaning the police will not likely be able to figure out who built it. Despite what you’ve read, they aren’t quite “do-it-yourself” guns that are easily assembled. Even though I am a “gun guy” (sadly, all my guns sank in a boating accident on one of the Great Lakes, I think, forget which one …), I lack the tools necessary to build such a weapon. I also lack the know-how, though I’m sure that’s easy to find online.
