U.S.A. — Anti-gun politicians seem to be back on the “ghost gun” scare with a heavy focus on 3-D printed firearms….again. Manhattan, NY District Attorney Alvin Bragg said, “You can sit at your kitchen table and print out weapons of destruction.”
Authorities in New York have previously said licensed gun owners in New York are allowed to use a 3D printer to print a gun, but they must immediately register the new weapon with ATF, something that no one has yet to do.
On June 2nd, 2023, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed Senate Bill 279 into law, banning the manufacture, possession, and sale of non-serialized firearms and firearm parts. It is a Class 1 misdemeanor, punishable by up to 364 days in jail, to violate the ban. Subsequent offenses are a Class 5 felony, punishable by up to three years in prison.
In an Ammoland article, John Crump explains how Polymer80, the largest retailer of unfinished pistol frames, settled a lawsuit with the city of Los Angeles for $5 million and agreed not to sell its unfinished frames kit in California without first serializing the frame and running a background check on the prospective buyer.
If we read between the lines, we see the anti-gun media talking about 3-D printed guns but the legislation being implemented covers any gun that can’t be traced back to the owner’s personal address.
The anti-gun lobby and the media have everyone chasing these so-called 3-D printed “ghost guns” because it works at building public fear and legislative support. It’s convenient for the gun grabbers to qualify all untraceable firearms for legislative purposes while using 3-D printed guns and parts as the culprit and giving them a scary name in the media. What solution to this so-called problem of 3-D printed “ghost guns” do the gun grabbers offer? Well, the answer is simple, the serialization and registration of all firearms exchanging hands.
Will firearm registration affect stolen firearms (which are used in the vast majority of crimes) in any way? Of course not, but how could anti-gun politicians justify firearm serialization and registration of law-abiding citizens by using stolen guns as the problem? They couldn’t because everyone understands that if a firearm is stolen, it’s certainly not going to be registered by its new possessor. This is why the “ghost gun” was created and the “3-D printer” blamed.
The term “ghost gun” was created to scare people who don’t know any better into believing these “mysteriously dangerous guns” are everywhere. The 3-D printing process is used to justify legislation even though it may not be the problem. The solution, of course, is the government being able to track every single firearm transfer to its new owner.
I don’t remember the 2nd Amendment saying, “the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed as long as the government knows who has guns and the home addresses where they can be found.“ As a matter of fact, at the time of our founding, our Founding Fathers never had any intention of notifying government who had guns and where they could be found. Building firearms has always been an American tradition. Are we supposed to believe that 3-D printing plastic guns has suddenly become a threat to civilization?
The “ghost gun” is nothing more than the latest fear campaign used for the purpose of implementing “gun-tracking” legislation. “Red Flag Laws” are the vehicle for gun confiscation without due process. The two would work hand-in-hand because before you can confiscate guns, you must first know where they are located.

Should start a mockery campaign.
Anytime someone brings up “ghost guns”…..
(conspiracy whisper)…”Shhhhh. Ghost guns are invisible. You can’t see them. There. Might. Be. Some. In. This Very. Room..Just WAITING to shoot us…..AHHHHH! THEY’RE GOING TO SHOOT US!!”

“It would not be impossible to prove with sufficient repetition and a psychological understanding of the people concerned that a square is in fact a circle. They are mere words, and words can be molded until they clothe ideas and disguise.”
― Joseph Goebbels
What’s the difference between them then and us now? Except for location and language?
“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’ is. If the—if he—if ‘is’ means is and never has been, that is not—that is one thing. If it means there is none, that was a completely true statement. … Now, if someone had asked me on that day, are you having any kind of sexual relations with Ms. Lewinsky, that is, asked me a question in the present tense, I would have said no. And it would have been completely true.” — President William Jefferson Clinton When you’re talking about “word salad”, nobody, not “The Binder”, not Kamaltoe, not… Read more »
Look up the definition of the word “is” in a law dictionary, you might be surprised at what you find there!! The entire legal system is a scam and a sham, a crime syndicate writ large across the whole world, and to see it and prove it, all that you have to do, is look up the words Contract and Fraud in a law dictionary, and then apply them to the legal system itself! It is akin to a vampire driving a stake through its own heart!! If you don’t believe me, just try it and see!! The legal system’s… Read more »
goebbels would be very proud of the progs of today following in his footsteps. the fact that they do not see themselves as identical to him is totally ironic to me. progs use ambiguous, scary sounding words to define something they don’t like in an effort to frighten others into believing them, i.e. assault weapon, weapons of war, large capacity magazines, ghost guns.
Progs use ambiguous, scary sounding words in order to disguise that which the tyrant-in-charge doesn’t want talked about. Exactly as Goebbels wrote. They are two peas from the same rotten pod. IMOO,OFC!
Must have the disclaimer or the trolls will swarm like I kicked their hornet’s nest through the uprights. 🙂

it’s hard for me to understand how people can get so stupid. you legalize drugs don’t prosecute offenders just slap them on their hands and say you should not do this and leave them go what do you expect to happen? and you teach crap like CRT in schools just how dumb can you get?

Many of you remember Mike Vanderboegh, many might not. When states began banning “high capacity assault magazines”, Mike began collecting magazines donated by readers of his Sipsey Street Irregulars blog. He then sorted the donated mags into two groups: Patriot Grade, and Politician Grade. The first grade found their way into the hands of those “behind the wall” who hopefully would put them to good use somewhere down the road if push ever came to shove. The second grade were mailed to the idiot politicians who thought they could keep Americans from getting their hands on something they wanted simply… Read more »
I remember Mike V, and SSI…RIP. Still have no idea why the son “spiked” the website. But it’s still up for reference after all these years.
I still have the site earmarked. And have pulled several things out of it to use and (hopefully) inspire others.
What about all the pre GCA firearms that do not have a serial number, nor at the time of manufacture were not required to?
If you want to be really effective in your writings here, first read and understand a few basic things, like defining what a firearm is, where that term came from and for what purpose. If you mean a gun, then use the word gun, not the made up term firearm. Like you said, even a small spring that came from a gun or could be used in one, is considered to be a “firearm” under various federal laws. Get to know, and think with, and use the Void for Vagueness Doctrine. If it is vague, then it is VOID!! NO… Read more »
What is the SOUND from a Ghost Gun?………. BANG! better yet….. BOO!
shooting will come soon enough , make sure you have plenty of cartridges
Come on, man! Gotta continue the Glock 7 fear!
The missing link in this discussion, is that CRIME GUNS that are stolen, and have the serial number ground off, are logged in as “GHOST GUNS” . . . because there is no serial number.
This is how they are running up statistics of “GHOST GUNS” being used in crimes.
I don’t believe in ghost, I ain’t never seen one.
