AB, you are preaching to the choir, trust me. I'm slightly to the right of Attila The Hun, politically speaking. More gun laws are pointless, I agree. NRA Lifemember here. We are on the same side, trust me. Part of your last post, although far more definitive, refined and updated, is almost identical to a presentation I gave in a High School Civics class in the early 80's, much to the ire of the liberal teacher. Now that I have responded to your implication that I haven't read the Constitution or understand the 2nd Amendment and how more gun laws won't work, can we get back on topic?
When it comes to these 80% kit "Ghost Guns", having them numbered and sold through dealers / FFL background checks completed, in my opinion, makes the guns and process 100% legitimate and closes one more opportunity for scumbags to get guns. Will it stop them from obtaining them from other sources... of course not. But like it or not, criminals and those of bad intentions ARE currently buying / obtaining, carrying and using these guns for nefarious purposes, as the aforementioned links and ATF sources depict.
As I previously stated, ANYONE can buy a 80% ghost gun kit online, unfettered, as easily as buying a pair of socks on Amazon. If that's not an issue for some of you, yes, I guess we have to agree to disagree.

Seriously? That's BS and you know it. Going through a background check to buy a 80% kit is "One more impediment"??? Like we don't already do this 15 minute procedure to buy a gun through an FFL.
