How many ghost guns are actually used to commit crimes, and if we stopped doing this how much would that number go up? I feel like those numbers must be tiny, since ghost guns require lots of specialized skills and knowledge.
Almost zero. This is just a scary sounding thing that they can use to justify illegal domestic spying, and the masses go "oh, good job! Get those scary ghost gun guys!"
Lmfaoooo u funny bruv.
All a "ghost gun" means is that the gun isn't registered. It's effectively the same thing as a garage gun. Also, the actual number of "ghost guns" used in crimes is stupidly small. Like not enough to matter for rounding off of 99.9% of gun crime.
As for the "specialized skills" needed to make one of these? Have you ever had a high school carpentry class, maybe a beginning into to working in a metal shop? Congrats. You now have all the special skills you need to buy, assemble, and fabricate a 100% legal slam fire shotgun out of plumbing parts.
Even making an AR is a weekend project for a motivated individual.
TIL there are ghost gun kits that you can buy. Crazy.
