Schumer wants ATF to tighten regulations on 'ghost guns'

Sen. Chuck Schumer urged the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives on Sunday to fast-track a proposal that would require background checks and serial numbers for "ghost guns."

Ghost guns are untraceable weapons built from kits or individual parts and sold without background checks or serial numbers even though they can easily be constructed into fully functional weapons.

The new rule Schumer wants enacted as soon as possible would define ghost gun kits as firearms that require background checks and serial numbers. It would make clear that weapons parts are firearms subject to federal gun regulations, and it would require those who sell gun parts and kits to register as dealers.

Would "Pipe Fittings" then need to be serialized and would you have to do a "Background Check" to purchase plumbing supplies?

So now we have President schumer?  Schumer needs to do his job and let others do theirs..... contrary to his narcissistic belief, he does not know everything...
So why doesn't schumer push for DHS/DOJ to secure the border and deport illegals?

I still recall Schumer gleefully prancing around in the Waco Hearings holding up a very intact AK, demanding such be banned (recovered firearms form Mt. Carmel were so badly damaged by the fire and subsequent mishandling of the crime scene the ATF had to "reconstruct" them--often altering the to full-auto versions.)

That pusbag has been anti-gun from day one.

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
