“So-called ghost gun bans are increasingly being used to justify broader restrictions on digital files, 3D printers, CNC machines, and lawful gun owners.”
Once again, in a story about guns and crime—in this case a story about why police worry that a ban on so-called “ghost guns” won’t prevent criminals from using them—the quiet part, that “dirty little secret” of gun control, is stated out loud, albeit in the third paragraph of a Washington Examiner report.
“Despite a growing wave of state crackdowns, law enforcement officials and experts say legislation banning ghost guns does little to actually stop criminals from using the untraceable firearms,” the Washington Examiner stated.
Underscoring this revelation (perhaps for the umpteenth time), the Justice Department in Boston announced May 1 the indictment by a federal grand jury of a man identified as Angel Negron, 47, for being a “felon in possession of a firearm and for possession of a machinegun.” Authorities allegedly found “Three privately made firearms (ghost guns), four machine gun conversion devices, a 3D printer, five magazines and 31 privately made firearm receivers…during a search on March 31.”
