The alleged gunman, suspect in the assassination of Bryan Thompson, the CEO of United Healthcare was caught with a ghost gun.
What is a ghost gun?
1. It is a gun assembled from parts assembled from parts bought on line. It has no serial number. And therefore is hard to trace. It is not part of gun registry (like a loose firearm in PHl, or paltik)
2. Or a DIY gun made from a 3d printer. Just anybody can now make a gun in his house, provided he has a 3d printer. The designs have been uploaded in the internet. There are switches (that converts a gun to fully automatic by inserting an automatic sears)
The 3d printer can make guns that are not detectable by x rays at airports!!!.
While the 2nd amendment in US guarantees gun ownership, the gun has to be licensed. Silencers the switch and link for long firearms are illegal.
These are concern for law enforcement because ghost guns poses threat to police force and the community. The news in US is full of mass shooting by students, at malls, schools and other public places.
Expect stricter rules and enforcement on this ghost guns. If there were no ghost guns, the suspect would not have killed the CEO
