1 / 2Ghost GunsFile-This Nov. 14, 2019, file photo shows students being escorted out of Saugus High School after reports of a shooting in Santa Clarita, Calif. For a few hundred dollars, tools and some elbow grease, you can make your very own rifle or handgun. It’s all perfectly legal and it can be done without leaving anything behind for the government to trace. These so-called “ghost guns” have long been popular among hobbyists or gun enthusiasts.
Last week, a teenager used a homemade handgun to fatally shoot two classmates and wound three others at a school in suburban Los Angeles, authorities said. He shot himself and later died. Plenty of online companies sell what are called 80 percent receivers, which are nearly finished and require just a bit of drilling to be usable. They don’t have a serial number and don’t require a background check.
“Why are we even having this question? If we have a right to make and bear arms, we have a right to make them,” said Matthew Larosiere, director of legal policy at the Firearms Policy Coalition. Besides the shooting at the school in Santa Clarita last week, authorities found perpetrators of a 2014 bank robbery in Stockton had a homemade AK-47. The previous year, a man who killed five people on a college campus in Santa Monica had assembled an AR-15 after failing a background check at a gun dealer.

‘Ghost guns’ are untraceable, easy to make, more prevalentWith some tools and a few hundred bucks, people can make untraceable firearms. Gun control groups say they're being used in more crimes, like a California school shooting last week, while gun rights activists say it's a constitutional right. I’m going to scrape the glow in the dark elements from ten thousand cheap watches and use that as the core of a nuclear bomb it is my goddamn god given right to detonate wherever I feel it would do the most good We’ve gone a long way from organized militias.
