John–

Unserialized, untraceable, and no background check.

Those are just some of the reasons why ghost guns are one of the fastest
growing gun safety problems facing our country.

A ghost gun is a DIY, homemade gun made from readily available,
unregulated parts, meaning that its building blocks are easily acquired
without a background check. With those parts in hand, anyone can build a
ghost gun in just a couple of hours. That means that these guns can
undermine almost every single one of our nation's gun safety laws if gone
unchecked.

Explosives (ATF) to regulate ghost guns like any other gun.

Predictably, ghost guns are showing up at the scenes of daily gun
violence, school shootings, and in the hands of white supremacists,
including those committed to causing another civil war.

* In California, a 16-year-old boy shot and killed two of his classmates
and shot and wounded three others with a ghost gun.
* In Washington D.C., ghost guns were used in four recent fatal
shootings.
* In Arizona, a neo-Nazi sex offender bragged on Facebook about his
arsenal of firearms and homemade assault-style ghost guns.
* Ahead of a gun rally this past January, neo-Nazis who planned on
attending had built a ghost gun. They were arrested by the FBI when
their plans to use the event to incite a race war were discovered.

In spite of the known danger, President Trump's ATF has refused to
classify these easily obtainable gun kits as firearms. That has led to a
spike of untraceable firearms falling into the hands of exactly the kinds
of people—violent criminals, gun traffickers, dangerous extremists, and
other people legally prohibited from buying firearms—who would otherwise
fail a background check.

Thank you for taking action and for all you do to end the crisis of gun
violence in America.
