Better yet, ever want to MAKE a Ghost Gun?
Apparently with the right box, my 10 year old could make a "ghost" lower receiver (the track-able portion of a firearm) in a couple of hours with no help from dad.
See Story Here: http://www.wired.com/2015/06/i-made-an-untraceable-ar-15-ghost-gun/
So this leads me to ask this question of my RP Family:
What are YOUR thoughts on this?

Dropping the "Former gun dealer" thing again....
It is COMPLETELY legal to make a Firearm for your own personal use. COMPLETELY LEGAL.
Shocked yet?
You can actually make a AK receiver out of a shovel. It's not that hard.
There is nothing illegal about it. It's cheap, easy to do, and COMPLETELY LEGAL.
The idea of a gun being "untrackable"... well they already are.
Here's how a Federal Gun Trace works.
The police have physical possession of a gun. That's correct, they need possession of the gun to run the trace. They call the ATF who calls MANUFACTURER (known as Point of Origin), who has 24 hours to say who they transferred the weapon to. The PoO looks in their "Bound Book" (a literal book, with a record or where the gun was shipped) and call the ATF back, and say it was transferred to X distributor/dealer on this date.
The ATF then calls that dealer/distributor, and repeats until they get to the current owner, which includes; people who do "person to person transfers," stolen gun reports, or "I have it in my hands" (which does happen).
The federal government is actually BANNED from having a easily searchable database that correlates serial numbers to people. That's federal law.
So the idea of "untraceable guns" is sort of a misnomer. For the most part, they already are. No one has any clue where most of the guns are.

Surplus Gun Nuts - Part 1 - How To Build Your Own AK47
I hear people say "I've built a couple AR15 rifles, but how do I go about building an AK47?" First of all, you didn't build anything. You assembled an AR15 from a kit. It didn't take any specail tooling or skill. Making an AK47 from an 80% receiver and a military surplus parts kit is going to take some work to get all the parts to fit together correctly. But don't be mistaken, building an AK47 isn't necissarily harder.
