Debate Over Ghost Gun Ban Intensifies: New Regulations Spark Controversy and Balance Tradition with Public Safety
The new regulations that are subject to ghost gun ban mean manufacturers and sellers of ghost gun kits must be licensed, and the kits themselves must have serial numbers. According to FOX, anyone buying a ghost gun kit will now have to undergo a background check. However, there are differing opinions. Dave Workman from the Second Amendment Foundation argues that building guns at home is a long-standing tradition, and the term “ghost gun” unfairly taints it.
A major concern in this debate is the difficulty of tracing unregistered ghost guns, which makes solving crimes involving these weapons challenging. The Biden administration contends to uphold ghost gun ban because ghost guns lack traceability which hampers law enforcement’s ability to apprehend criminals. As the nation grapples with these issues, it attempts to find a balance between preserving tradition and ensuring public safety in the modern age.
