    Fox 45 had a piece yesterday or this morning about them being so abundant on the streets of Baltimore. A whopping "15 were directly linked to homicides or shootings" last year.
    Hmmm, how many shootings were there in Baltimore last year?

    An old friend of mine was Baltimore City police. He told me once that the official number of shootings was purposefully reduced from the actual number of shootings that happened annually.

    You just pass more laws and poof! All gone! No criminals have ghost guns!

    It's worked before? Right?
    Sure. I have every confidence it's going to work just as well as the laws banning heroin.

    Considering they often concentrate on AR rifle ghost guns, and knives statistically kill more than rifles, I am going to message WJZ about the ghost knife kits at Home Depot and Lowes. This madness must stop.

    May sweeps (Nielsen TV ratings). Their end-of-May last desperate gasp to create viewership ratings by scaring the morons who think more laws will eliminate crime, while said morons advocate for defunding the police.

    Biden was a victim of this, he should be front and center on this, before it's too late. Think of the children.

    Whats the difference between a "ghost gun", and a stolen gun or a straw purchase gun?? ... All of them in peoples hands that cant/shouildnt have one and the laws wont stop it. We know this,I just hate the way the msm and libs go on about the gun bs. rant over...

    I am friends with the PeeGee officer. HE was telling me how much of a problem "ghost guns" are. I asked him what he meant. Got the usual, the kits you can buy on the internet, they don't have a serial number and are untraceable. I asked him about the guns with serial number that are removed. He said they can run ballistics on them. I asked again. I got a blank stare when I told him you can change he barrel, yada yada. Again, a blank stare.
    He then informed me the "ghost guns" can't be entered in NIBIN because there are no SN's. I was informed that the manufacturers enter in the SN. He was shocked when I told him only LE enters them after a crime, so if the serial is removed, no NIBIN. I asked what is the percentage of these kit guns they seize are. Again a blank stare... I could go on.
    The point is even law enforcement is lead to believe these are totally 100% illegal, not just for prohibited people. Watch for a ban near you....

    Not mentioning which county, but I know a county to ATF leasion (who is a gun guy and knows guns, law and gun law) He knows the year to year numbers and how stupidly the media is playing the "huge increase in ghost guns used in crimes". His report of ATF concerns puts ghost guns near the bottom of the list for ATF and his department. He often complains about his coworkers' lack of gun law knowledge and lack of gun knowledge in general; most of them get their info the same place the general public does, the media.

    If you go from 1 to 2, that is a 100% increase.

    I didn’t choose the ghost gun life, the ghost gun life chose me.
