Ghost Guns

Ghost guns are unregistered and untraceable homemade weapons from a kit with parts that need to be assembled. They are not marked with a serial number. The rule from the agency reworked the definition of a firearm for regulatory purposes to include parts which could be used to make guns.

(ANTIMEDIA) Sacramento, CA — California law will no longer look the other way on homemade guns, or “ghost guns,” as gun control advocates call them. Building a gun from parts or a 3-D printer will soon require a background check. It will also require that a state-provided serial number be permanently fixed to the weapon.
