What are ghost guns, ghost guns are a gun that has no serial numbers or identification and can not be traced. They can be 3d printed and the parts can just be ordered off the internet and put together in your home in under 4 hours at the most but they must use an unfinished receiver or frames that is the part that contains the operating parts to the firearm. Usually frames and receivers have to be registered and run through the state, but only if they are finished but these are unfinished so they don't have to be registered or run through the state and it takes less than an hour to finish them out. Once all of the parts are put together it looks, feels and operates like a real firearm.
Now why are ghost guns such a big deal, they are such a big deal because you need no background check to buy the gun or the kit to make the gun itself. the sales of ghost gun kits has increased tremendously, in 2020 Carlos A. Canino ``forty one percent, so almost half our cases we're coming across these ghost guns." Ghost guns are not just in America, they are in so many countries. Three ghost guns were found in the district of columbia. "In 2019 116 guns were recovered and at least three were connected to homicide" said by brady united.org. More than 2,500 ghost guns have been included in many criminal activities; gun kits and 3d printed gun kits have skyrocketed since the outbreak of covid 19. These guns can be purchased by anybody including criminals because they can't be traced back to them if they are found at a crime scene.
Now what are the statistics of ghost guns, reported murders and shootings have been using ghost guns since 2013. There have been over 350 million estimated ghost guns to be in the United States that they know but who knows how many there actually are. They have the highest rates of homicides in America, according to fas.org but there could be so many more than that because they are untraceable and if they are never found they can't relate them back to these crimes. From 2016 to 2021 there has been a 1000.3 percent increase in ghost guns used in criminal activity. There has been over 37,000 ghost guns recovered on crime scenes and other raids since 2017 with a 1083 percent in recoveries since 2017 to 2021 and if you think that that is a big jump they think some are still not reported.
What is the government doing to prevent the use of ghost guns, in 2021 president biden outlined a "comprehensive gun strategy" this was supposed to help the sto the propagation of ghost guns to this day only 11 out of the 50 states have adopted regulation for ghost guns. The supreme court ruled 5-4 to allow Biden to regulate gun making kits the same way he does to regular firearms. The atf proposed the regulations to stop the abrupt increase in ghost guns availability of ghost guns and kits.
Do you think that these gun laws will eventually infringe our second amendment right?

I think that yes, eventually, it will affect the rights people have regarding fire arms, especially ghosts guns. I think that ghost guns are a serious problem, because without knowing who has possesion of the ghost gun because of its lack of a serial number and registration, could lead to the wrong people having possesion of them. I think it should be illegal to sell gun parts outside of government monitored stores and websites, as for 3d printing, I think it should be illegal to print the models, if they are premade by someone else, should be taken off the printer or be made nonfunctional, as well as adding a large fine for anyone who does print or make these models.
I think this is a great solution to people that 3d print guns but they would have to get caught 3d printing the gun first.
