Michigan's Democratic Representative, Hillary Scholten, is demanding immediate measures against what her party terms as "ghost guns."
These firearms, often assembled from an 80 percent kit, sometimes incorporate parts produced by a 3D printer. The assembly of such weapons necessitates a deep understanding of the firearm in question and frequent visits to a gunsmith to ensure reliable operation.
According to Breitbart, Democrats frequently portray "ghost guns" as untraceable, seemingly clinging to the plastic gun panic that originated in the 1980s. However, even if the frame is polymer, firearms necessitate metal for the barrel, slide, and pressure points in the frame.
Despite these facts, the crusade against "ghost guns" persists. In a twist of irony, Scholten neglected to mention that the alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson passed a background check to join a co-living space in Hawaii. As reported by The Associated Press, "Mangione underwent a background check," said Josiah Ryan, a spokesperson for the owner and founder of the 'co-living space,' R.J. Martin.
This omission raises questions about the effectiveness of background checks and the focus on "ghost guns" when the alleged killer had passed a background check. It also highlights the need for a more comprehensive approach to gun control that respects individual freedom and the right to bear arms, key tenets of conservative values. The debate on "ghost guns" and gun control continues, with the need for a balanced approach that respects constitutional rights and ensures public safety.
