Look him up on the internet. David Marshall Williams, while incarcerated in a prison in North Carolina, designed, built and tested a rifle. He built it in the prison machine shop, while being carefully watched, of course. To be sure, he was a convicted killer.

It is very historic. The rifle went on to be one of our most used weapons in WWII, Korean War and at the beginning of Vietnam.

Now. Just what makes anyone think that outlawing ghost guns will have any affect whatsoever? Williams had very little training in guns. What would make anyone think that ghost guns can be stopped when there are thousands willing and able trained gunsmiths to make guns in their basements. Moreover, there are more than a few willing to pay a pretty penny to buy them too.

Also, with the open border, the gunsmith can make his guns somewhere outside American jurisdiction. Our laws will not be able to touch them in Cuba. Then they can just haul them over the border, individually or by the gross.

Here is one more point. Not one of them would have a serial number. Not one would be traceable.

I saw a sign once. “Littering prevented by law.” Sorry. Littering can be discouraged by law, but it can’t prevent it. I just saw the one sign. I guess most of us are more realistic.

Go ahead. Make your laws outlawing ghost guns. You won’t prevent them. It is too easy to build them and there will always be those wanting to buy them. Those who think they will put a stop to them are foolish.

By the way, I am not suggesting anything new. I am not that intelligent. I am sure many have thought of this long ago. They have been building guns for hundreds of years. In some cases, they were built by blacksmiths on a forge with not much more than a hammer. You’re not going to stop a trained machinist with a well equipped machine shop.
