San Francisco Sues Three Online Retailers for Selling 'Ghost Guns'
https://www.nytimes.com/2021/08/18/us/sf-ghost-guns.htmlIn a civil complaint filed in California Superior Court, District Attorney Chesa Boudin accused the companies — G.S. Performance, BlackHawk Manufacturing Group and MDX Corporation — of marketing a range of products in the state that furnish buyers with parts and accessories that can be quickly assembled into a functional firearm.
The suit claims that the companies, which explicitly say their products comply with federal and state laws, are targeting buyers who want to evade criminal background checks and buy guns without traceable serial numbers. The plaintiffs are seeking to outlaw sales of such parts.

These kits usually sell for as much as or more than legitimate serialized guns from a licensed dealer. Why, prey tell, would anyone pay more for and have to do machine work to assemble a gun that's cheaper to buy on the open commercial market?
Could it be that they're FELONS?
It shouldn't take more than two functioning brain cells to figure this out.
