Loophole Lets Criminals Buy Untraceable Ghost Guns Online

1. Thanks for the hyperbole

You don't buy a "gun", what you are buying is parts with an unfinished receiver. Unfinished receivers don't have a serial number because they are unfinished! If you have the skills and tools to mill and drill that 80% AR 15 lower you can end up with a privately made "ghost gun" and then go on a murderous rampage because MOAR GUNZ!

If you are looking for a real loophole, go buy yourself a mail order black powder cap and ball revolver. The serial number is on the receiver. Then go buy yourself a replacement conversion cylinder that uses centerfire ammunition. No serial number on the cylinder. Instant mail order single action cartridge revolver.
