Ghost Guns
A ghost gun is a do-it-yourself, homemade gun made from easy-to-get building blocks that has been available for purchase online with no background check and no questions asked. These guns are made by an individual, not a federally licensed manufacturer or importer. Ghost guns often end up in the hands of prohibited possessors including individuals with violent felony convictions, people with disqualifying mental health histories, domestic abusers, and teens.
