The Biden administration has announced plans to crack down on illegal ghost guns and firearms trafficking along the East Coast “iron pipeline” — just in time for the president’s visit to New York City on Thursday to discuss surging gun violence. President Biden is expected to address the new effort when he and Attorney General Merrick Garland meet with Mayor Eric Adams and Gov. Kathy Hochul later Thursday. Among the slew of measures is the Justice Department’s new National Ghost Gun Enforcement Initiative, which aims to clamp down on homemade firearms that lack serial numbers used to trace them.

Comments:

Get ready, this will be the next "national emergency." Guns. And they won't be limiting their efforts to ghost guns.,

Democrats don’t care about shootings except in terms of exploiting the issue as a justification for a crack down on individual liberties.

Yeah, yeah, whatever. It will MAKE NO DIFFERENCE. They want to have every honest person disarmed. That makes their thuggery safer for them.

Scary ''ghost guns'' is only a stupid liberal euphemism that is used to make politicians look busy while doing absolutely nothing to address the problem. The problem is that criminals are not being deterred by the police, because liberal DAs refuse to prosecute and releasing repeat offenders to commit more crimes. Criminals are not making ghost guns. They steal existing guns or buy them illegally from other criminals. In high profile arrests of repeat offenders they often have criminal records containing multiple weapons and drug convictions. Yet, for some reason they are still walking around armed and committing more crime.

What's an "illegal ghost gun?" People have been building their own guns for centuries. The problem that gun-grabbers have is the lack of manufacturer's to hold liable or to seize records to seize guns they manufactured.

And what percentage of crimes are committed by criminals with "ghost guns"? Does anybody know? Or care? I would bet it is a small percentage, perhaps a fraction of a percent. As another poster stated, why bother with a "ghost gun" when it is much easier and quicker just to steal one or buy one from another thug, no background checks needed. Let's go Brandon!

When will the crack down on the illegal ghost gun owners / shooters be coming? Stop focusing on the inanimate guns. Focus on the CRIMINALS who use the guns to commit their crimes. Once you catch the criminals, don't let them go!

How about cracking down on gang bangers, that are responsible for almost all of the major gun violence in every major Demon-Rat controlled city?!?!?!? No, that would be racist since those gang bangers all tend to be minorities (especially one particular race). So instead, let's make life harder, and take away the Constitutional rights of law-abiding gun owners (who are responsible for far less than 1% of all gun violence anywhere). Lie-beral "logic" at its most hypocritical!!!!!

In the mid-size city I live in, it’s my experience that a lot of guns are stolen from irresponsible owners who leave their guns in their parked cars overnight. It happens here all the time and averages over 50 a week.

Ghost guns. Saturday night specials. Assault weapons. ALL just bullhockey hype about very ordinary, perfectly legal guns. They want to slice off some kind of subset of guns and then demonize those guns and try to get special restrictions on those "bad guns". No guns are bad, other than inaccurate or unreliable ones. They are tools. The only good or bad comes from the user.

Huge numbers of older firearms were never made with a serial number. I own some. Nothing even a little bit unusual about them. They are perfectly legal. If sokd thru a dealer, tge paperwork says "NSN", for No Serial Number. And making your own firearms has always been legal. I made my first in the 1960s. And, shockingly, it has no serial number. I know a few folks who have made pistols or rifles themselves. It's not a big deal. But since they want NO guns in private hands, this angers and frightens these government bureaucrats, this idea of people making their own guns, without permission from the totalitarians in DC. I think it's freedom.

Good grief. How many criminals would ever take the time to order the parts and then assemble a "ghost gun?" I would guess none. This not even remotely a problem but it won't stop the left from making up stories. This is nothing more than total BS, but I guess they think some stupid liberals will believe it.

Most of the criminals with the scary "ghost guns" don't have enough IQ or common sense to know how to assemble or build one of the scary "ghost guns". They're lucky that they even know which end of the gun the bullet comes out of.

Russian forces stepped up their offensive early Tuesday with bombs raining down on Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, as a 40-mile-long convoy of tanks and other military equipment forges forward towards Kyiv. “Daylight rises again over Ukraine. Kyiv still stands,” Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky said around 6:30 a.m. local time Tuesday morning, after another night of heavy bombings. “The Warriors continue to stand for their country and freedom. Glory to Ukraine.” By 7 a.m. air sirens sounded again. Zelensky said he believes Russia is trying to force Ukraine into surrendering by ramping up the shelling across Ukraine following a peace summit

We shouldn’t be surprised that Hillary Clinton would continue to double down in the face of a mushrooming scandal. This has always been her strategy in handling such situations, and heaven knows she’s had plenty of experience. Whitewater? Pfft! Nothing to see here. Travelgate? Just a vast right-wing conspiracy. Benghazi? What difference could it possibly make? Hillary has survived more scandals than perhaps any politician in history, so her current hubris might be somewhat expected. But the goings-on with the Durham Probe is different. Hillary’s current hot water isn’t like the other cauldrons she’s been in.

It is beyond debate that the Democrats have behaved badly for a number of years now. They’ve conducted two sham impeachments of Donald Trump based on false evidence, or no evidence at all. They have removed Republicans from committee assignments for infractions that pale in comparison to the violations of Democrats. They have violated Congressional rules with impunity – even to the point of refusing to accept minority party assignments to a select committee. Yet there are those on the Republican side that say they should resist responding in kind, when the Republicans inevitably ascend to the majority.

I’m having a problem using the president’s formal title and name together. It’s not a matter of Republican disrespect for a Democrat.

Over half of all Americans now believe that fraud affected the outcome of the last Presidential election. The Arizona election audit didn’t prove that the Donald won, as many hoped. But it did prove that we don’t really know who won that state. Given the election shenanigans around the country in November 2020, there is certainly justification to question the outcome.
