(<em>Photo: Defense Distributed<\/em>)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last week, two congressmen introduced a bill (see below) that would ban \u201cmetal milling machines\u201d that turn \u201cprivate individuals into de facto gun manufacturers and dealers in their own homes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin (MD) and David Cicilline (RI) call their legislation the \u201cStop Home Manufacture of Ghost Guns Act\u201d and believe it bolsters the aim of the \u201cUntraceable Firearms Act,\u201d which imposes widespread restrictions on 80 percent lowers as well as kits designed to assemble firearms from receivers.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Essentially, both bills want to stop unlicensed individuals \u2014 those not engaged in the business of making or selling firearms \u2014 from using parts and equipment that make home gun building a turnkey endeavor.&nbsp; &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>The &#8220;Untraceable Firearms Act,&#8221; the legislation that Raskin and Cicilline hope to complement with their &#8220;Stop Home Manufacture of Ghost Guns Act.&#8221; <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe terrible threat of ghost guns to public safety is growing on a daily basis,\u201d said Rep. Raskin in a <a href=\"https:\/\/cicilline.house.gov\/press-release\/raskin-cicilline-introduce-legislation-stop-home-manufacture-%E2%80%9Cghost-guns%E2%80%9D?utm_source=The+Trace+mailing+list&amp;utm_campaign=e6d0f41d04-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2019_09_24_04_06_COPY_01&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_term=0_f76c3ff31c-e6d0f41d04-53880753\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"congressmen-introduce-bill-banning-ghost-gun-milling-machines\" title=\"Congressmen Introduce Bill Banning \u2018Ghost Gun\u2019 Milling Machines\">press release<\/a> obtained by GunsAmerica. \u201cIt is time for Congress to ban ghost guns and the flourishing traffic in the technology which manufactures them. Law enforcement is finding that ghost guns compose a growing share of weapons used in deadly crime. Let\u2019s act now as an institution to remove this increasing and lethal threat to our people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cGhost guns serve no legitimate purpose,\u201d Congressman Cicilline added. \u201cWe have laws for a reason. The ability to skirt the background check requirements and federal firearms licensing to sell a gun made at home is dangerous and should be illegal. This legislation will prevent dangerous firearms from getting into the hands of the wrong people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">SEE ALSO: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gunsamerica.com\/rhode-island-bans-ghost-guns-w-10-year-prison-sentence-for-violators\/\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"congressmen-introduce-bill-banning-ghost-gun-milling-machines\" title=\"Congressmen Introduce Bill Banning \u2018Ghost Gun\u2019 Milling Machines\">Rhode Island Bans \u2018Ghost Guns\u2019 w\/ 10 Year Prison Sentence for Violators<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\nThe elephant in the room is, of course, <a href=\"https:\/\/defdist.org\/?utm_source=GunsAmerica\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"congressmen-introduce-bill-banning-ghost-gun-milling-machines\" title=\"Congressmen Introduce Bill Banning \u2018Ghost Gun\u2019 Milling Machines\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Defense Distributed<\/a> (DD), the Texas-based company that manufacturers a CNC milling machine called the \u201cGhost Gunner\u201d that allows one to quickly finish frames and receivers for many popular firearms, including ARs, of the -15 and -10 variety, as well as 1911s and Glock-compatible pistols.\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>GunsAmerica reached out to Cody Wilson, the founder of DD for comment.&nbsp; Needless to say, he didn\u2019t seem too worried about the legislation. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cAs written, grants our company an industrial monopoly. These are unserious people. Puppets for Bloomberg-moneyed groups,\u201d he said in an email. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wilson\u2019s not wrong about the advocacy groups that support the legislation.&nbsp; According to the press release, they include The Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, and The Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Selling any completed firearm, be it a so-called ghost gun or not, to a prohibited person (e.g. convicted felon, illegal alien, fugitive from justice, drug addict, domestic abuser) is already illegal under federal law.&nbsp; Moreover, it is also against the law for any prohibited person to possess a functioning firearm. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both crimes are <a href=\"https:\/\/www.justice.gov\/sites\/default\/files\/usao-ut\/legacy\/2013\/06\/03\/guncard.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"congressmen-introduce-bill-banning-ghost-gun-milling-machines\" title=\"Congressmen Introduce Bill Banning \u2018Ghost Gun\u2019 Milling Machines\">punishable by a prison term of up to 10 years<\/a>.&nbsp; Repeat offenders who have three or more prior convictions for a felony crime of violence (e.g. burglary, robbery, assault, possession of offensive weapons) may receive a minimum of 15 years behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sadly, though, the hefty punishment imposed by existing law isn\u2019t enough to dissuade hardened criminals from getting guns.&nbsp; As it turns out, no law or set of laws seem to work at stopping bad guys from getting guns.&nbsp; Yet, Reps. Cicilline and Raskin want the public to believe that effectively shutting down the cottage industry of DIY gun-making will have a big impact on crime. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unserious people, indeed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>The text of the <em>&#8220;Stop Home Manufacture of Ghost Guns Act.&#8221; <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">***<a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/\" campaign=\"BuySellGA_Register\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\">Buy and Sell on GunsAmerica!<\/a>***<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Two congressmen introduced a bill that would ban \u201cmetal milling machines\u201d that turn \u201cprivate individuals into de facto gun manufacturers and dealers in their own homes.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":34,"featured_media":131080,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_specdata_upc":"","_specdata_placement":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[244,7,25,216,240],"tags":[132,607],"featured":[],"hunt365":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-131075","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-2nd-amendment-r2kba","8":"category-gunsamerica-authors","9":"category-current-events","10":"category-s-h-blannelberry","11":"category-this-week","12":"tag-buzz","13":"tag-news"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.1 (Yoast SEO v27.3) - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-premium-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Congressmen Introduce Bill Banning \u2018Ghost Gun\u2019 Milling Machines<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Two congressmen introduced a bill that would ban \u201cmetal milling machines\u201d that turn \u201cprivate individuals into de facto gun manufacturers and dealers...&quot;\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/congressmen-introduce-bill-banning-ghost-gun-milling-machines\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Congressmen Introduce Bill Banning \u2018Ghost Gun\u2019 Milling Machines\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Two congressmen introduced a bill that would ban \u201cmetal milling machines\u201d that turn \u201cprivate individuals into de facto gun manufacturers and dealers in their own homes.\u201d\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/congressmen-introduce-bill-banning-ghost-gun-milling-machines\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"Gun Reviews and News | GunsAmerica.com\/Digest\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:publisher\" content=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/gunsamerica\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2020-07-07T21:30:23+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2023-09-06T21:40:21+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/digest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/GhostGunner.png\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1200\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"672\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/png\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"S.H.
