Courts Slow Feds’ Attempt To Regulate “Ghost Guns”
From The Federalist:
Biden’s expanded use of serial numbers is aimed at stopping the production of homemade guns, now called “ghost guns” by gun control advocates. Homemade guns have been around since even before the United States became a country, and it was never terribly difficult to make a gun with simple machine tools. But now their production has become nearly impossible to regulate. With 3-D metal printers, people can now make weapons that are indistinguishable from those purchased in stores.
“Ghost Gun” Threat Over Hyped
From Bearing Arms:
So-called “ghost guns†are really just any firearm that’s created without a serial number. Making such weapons isn’t illegal. It’s not even illegal in many places that have supposedly banned these kinds of weapons–mostly because the bans only impact kits and not the act itself. Making a firearm yourself is something that a lot of Americans enjoy.
Yet some people are completely uncomfortable with the idea that someone could build a firearm and not have to get permission from the government to do so.
NY Passes Ban on DIY Guns
From Guns.com:
The two bills addressing self-completed firearms, S.13A/A.2666A and S.7152/A.6522, in tandem outlaw the possession of unfinished frames or receivers by anyone other than a licensed gunsmith or firearms dealer and prohibit the sale of such items. Further, the new laws require gunsmiths and FFLs to register such incomplete guns in their possession. Violations run from Class D to Class E felonies, the latter of which can bring five years in prison and is on the same level as some manslaughter convictions.Â
How Will San Francisco Enforce Ban On Homemade Guns?
From San Francisco Chronicle:
The San Francisco Board of Supervisors on Tuesday unanimously voted to outlaw the sale and possession of “ghost gun†kits and parts in the city, marking a key moment in what is emerging as a statewide battle against the untraceable weapons.
The ordinance allows police and the city attorney’s office to go after manufacturers and providers who profit off the sale of ghost gun kits and parts. Officials would be able to build up trafficking cases against them. Each violation or sale of a part would be punishable by a $1,000 fine.
Update On Defense Distributed Case
From The Second Amendment Foundation:
“New Jersey passed a statute aimed specifically at us and Defense Distributed,†said SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb. “Attorney General Grewal is essentially trying a delaying tactic to tie this case up in legal red tape as long as possible, while in the process depriving us of our First Amendment rights to share firearms information under color of state law.
Defense Distributed Starts New Phase
From The Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Wilson said he believed his release of the files would be “impervious†to legal challenge and would help normalize the distribution of such material for easy download in the future.
Mr. Wilson is offering access to the files for an annual fee of $50, characterizing his service as “Netflix for 3-D guns.â€
HP Thinks It Can Stop 3D Guns
From Fox News:
The Silicon Valley-based company – one of the world’s biggest sellers of personal computers and printers – cited its “regular use†policy that precludes it from allowing its printers from being used to make homemade guns.
HP did not say how it would stop people from using its products to make ghost guns — weapons that are untraceable and unregulated — and it was unclear how the policy would limit their production.
