"Ghost guns" are protected, theyre just home made guns. Even the atf says so.

Allowed at the federal level yes, but state regs differ, and NYS gun law covers the 80% kits (S.14, S.13A).

I certainly wouldn’t pedal New York gun law as the ideal but AFAIK it’s not inconsistent re: unfinished receivers vs traditional firearms.

Edit: I forgot to summarize the local code. In short, dude needed a license, similar to the one needed to handle refrigerants or work on electrical systems. A few months turnaround but isn’t cost-prohibitive: https://thegunzone.com/how-to-become-a-gunsmith-in-ny/

Federal law overrides state law. https://www.law.cornell.edu/wex/supremacy_clause

The 2nd still applies in NYC

I don’t remember much con law, but I seem to recall using 7a to incorporate 2a is very much a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-you-don’t prospect, and justices have historically leaned on stare decisis to avoid cutting the knot.
