A ghost gun includes those vintage 1900s guns at the antique shop, or a gun you machine yourself on a lathe.

It use to be fairly involved to track individual firearm sales:

...but the ATF has been caught keeping illegal lists that subvert the tracing process.

I didn't know about the tracing through individual parts and machining purchases. I guess if Amazon/eBay/etc. just give up the information without a warrant (monthly?!), it's not illegal ... and I'd say "fuck those companies" .. but I already stopped shopping at Amazon in 2016 and deleted my PayPal account years ago. .. without eBay and NewEgg, there's literally nowhere for me to buy a lot of the PC parts and electronics I use.

The death of retail stores has had very serious consequences.

..also, what do you bet that article was edited by the FBI asking them to and they just complied?
