[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m Surprised there hasn’t been more attention given to fact that the kid owned two ghost guns and a shotgun. Another interesting thing is that apparently he had a “trauma background,” whatever that means and is being evaluated by mental health staff. I would like to know more about how easy it is to buy or make ghost guns these days.

“Nemitz said the shooting was carried out with a “ghost gun,” a gun that is cobbled together from parts purchased on the Internet and elsewhere. Such guns have no serial numbers to trace, and users don’t have to go through a background check before purchasing the parts.

Ghost guns have been used in an increasing number of crimes in recent years. Nemitz said Fairfax County police recovered a second ghost gun and a shotgun that belonged to Burkard in searches of the home where the shooting occurred and of Burkard’s home.”

I am honestly getting to the point of just thinking that it would be a lot easier for the government to control and ban the dissemination of gun powder (like ammonium nitrate now). No constitutional problems and with controlled supply chains reducing the number of bullets in circulation it would make it a lot harder to shoot people when you don't have ammo.[/quote]
