Bad people don’t care about gun laws and crimes … Criminals will shoot you dead no matter if ghost guns have a law against … they are all ready criminals so killing you or not because there is a bill that says they are illegal thinking they won’t shoot you dead is stupid !

Yes I’m sure that will help the problem, because when I think of law abiding citizens I think of Illinois.

Which will prevent approximately zero crimes.

So just add fake serial numbers to your homemade guns?

Gun control works great in illinois...especially chicago...

How sad that big brother is attacking innocent peoples rights as they prepare for their confiscation agenda.

Gov. J.B. Pritzker signs ban on untraceable, often homemade ghost gunsGov. J.B. Pritzker signs legislation targeting ghost guns, the often untraceable weapons that police say are increasingly being found in the hands of criminals. No worries. As soon as you get into the Cook County Court system, your charges will be dropped or excused away by the state's attorney who often works like a defense attorney instead of a prosecutor. BarstoolChief 👀👀 How soon before this is ruled unconstitutional?

Gov. J.B. Pritzker Signs New Law Banning Unregistered ‘Ghost Guns’ in IllinoisGov. J.B. Pritzker joined local and legislative officials at the Ark of St. Sabina in Chicago to sign HB 4383 into law, effectively banning Illinoisians from building their own unserialized firearms from kits at home. Paper vs. hardware is good, but we all know that document has holes in it with plenty of loops. While the problem is multiplying, there are 4 guns for every citizen already and with Indiana just minutes away, how does this really change anything? Fear? C'mon.

Bronx DA asks Visa and Mastercard to end business relationship with online 'ghost gun' retailers“We are asking that you take action now to help keep hundreds if not thousands of ghost guns from being built and used in crimes,” Bronx DA Clark told Visa and Mastercard in a letter. Component parts to assemble 'ghost guns' are usually bought online. Fun idea for curious journalists: Review every gun arrest in the Bronx over the last 2 years and see what the Bronx DA prosecuted and how many ever even went to prison. How many years does it take for Clark’s office to bring a case to trial? 2? 3? 4? How often does Clark’s office “loose” discovery material? Too often.
