and terrorize students. What’s a ghost gun? It’s a gun that is bought as a kit and assembled from parts or made with a 3D printer — making it easy for anyone in the country to buy, make, and use firearms without a trace. They’re especially dangerous because people who can’t pass a background check can get them — and that includes kids — and they can be assembled in as little as 30 minutes.
The new federal gun regulations specifically target “ghost guns,” requiring background checks on anyone purchasing a kit and requiring serial numbers on some of the components . In addition, firearms dealers will be required by law to add serial numbers to any ghost guns that turn up at their shops.
