Here's the shocker!

"A bill to legally ban the selling, manufacturing, buying, or trafficking of ghost guns found its way to Governor Brown's desk at the end of last year - but he vetoed it soon afterwards."

I wish every gun was a “ghost gun”. Serial numbers should only concern manufacturer and insurance purposes, not law enforcement.

I’ve lived in SoCal for a decades and have never heard of a machine gun being used in a crime.

Never.

M855 going, going, gone. Now our “ghost guns”. You can have my “ghost gun” when you pry it from my ghosted hands.

BTW...WTF is a ghost gun?

Federal agents say there could be as many as half a million untraceable guns on the streets of California.

Federal agents parrot the lies they are ordered to by the Washington thugs in power. No way approaching reality...as usual. Pure lies and BS, as uaual.

“People are buying these knowing there’s no paper trial”, says ATF Agent Graham Barlowe.

I really doubt he said that. Most people pronounce ‘trial’ and ‘trail’ differently.

They can’t enforce the laws they already have, but some democrat wants a law named after them.

Watched a show about “Ghost Guns” on NatGeo. The show followed the life cycle of a knock off of a M1911 made in the Philippines, smuggled into the US, then when the gun got too “hot”, used in too many crimes, the gun was smuggled into Guatemala.

Don’t worry! Micro-stamping will make those half million “ghost guns” disappear overnight!
snark.

"People are buying these knowing there's no paper trial", says ATF Agent Graham Barlowe. "There's no way to trace it back to them - there's no accountability on their part. "When you're asking yourself why would someone spend $5000 on a machine gun they're purchasing from a convicted felon, a gang member. I think the answers are all bad".

Afghan rebels were making their own guns for decades, under Third World conditions.

How many frames can an unemployed master machinist make in his basement per week? He doesn't need to make barrels, triggers, or any other part which does not have the serial number -- just the frame. All the other parts can be bought without paperwork.

It just shows the futility of thinking gun control can take guns away from gang members.

So, they want to ban something that's already illegal? Does that make it illegaler?

“Ghost Gun”? Ooo that sounds scary. I’m sure some lib thought that one up and said, “Yes”! It’s super scary sounding, let’s order law enforcement to start using that term.

Allright G-man.

You expect me to believe people are shelling out $5,000 for machine guns?

Why?

For $30 bucks you can make many guns fully automatic....

Why, there could be a hundred thousand BILLION such guns on the streets of California! We’ll never know the exact number because they’re all ghosts and they’re untraceable!

(facepalm)

I sure would hate to get shot by a machine gun with no serial number. That could be real bad.

Jerry Brown said when he vetoed the bill that he didn’t see how a serial number was going to contribute to public safety.

What about “Ghost People”?

Who’s to say any non-citizen is who he says he is?

They don’t have birth certificates or other government I.D.’s from their country of origin.

further, they never show up at hearings they are suppose to.

I’ll bet there are more Ghost People than there are ghost guns.

Another trumped up issue or False Flag operation to set the scene to “justify” more gun control?

Let’s call this one “Son Of Fast and Furious”.
