Team – I recently introduced my legislation to ban “ghost guns.”

“Ghost guns” are weapons that are assembled at home using kits. They don’t come with serial numbers and are virtually untraceable, opening up a massive loophole in our gun laws.

My legislation would classify ghost guns as what they are – dangerous firearms – and mandate that the manufacturers and distributors of these kits operate under the same regulations as those who produce and sell completed firearms.

Gun kits must include a manufacturer’s license and serial numbers on the weapon components, and anyone who buys a kit must undergo a background check.

Team, what do you think? Do you agree that Congress should act to appropriately regulate “ghost guns?”

President Biden recently unveiled six executive actions to save lives from gun violence, including a proposed rule to help stop the proliferation of ghost guns. But he’s going to need Congress to act to make these efforts permanent.

That’s why I introduced the Untraceable Firearms Act, to close yet another glaring loophole in our gun laws and save lives. But ending gun violence in this country will require a comprehensive approach – so I’m urging the Senate to pass H.R. 8 to require universal background checks and H.R. 1446 to close the “Charleston Loophole” immediately, alongside my new bill.

And I’m asking for your thoughts too, team. Do you think Congress should consider my legislation on ghost guns?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts,

– David
