Bridgeport police say they’ve recovered several “ghost guns” this year. (Photo: Bridgeport City Facebook<\/em>)<\/p><\/div>\n

Manufacturing firearms at home for personal use is perfectly legal, according to the federal government<\/a>. But not according to Bridgeport, Connecticut, whose mayor recently signed a measure<\/a> that would levy a $250\/day fine to anyone caught in the possession of a \u201cghost gun.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Joseph Ganim has been pushing the city council to pass the ordinance since earlier this year<\/a>, and his efforts received a boost in August when police recovered several firearms they say were made by Connecticut residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are ghost guns, they are invisible, and they are a grave concern to the City of\u00a0#Bridgeport,\u201d Ganim wrote on Facebook<\/a> at the time.<\/p>\n

Bridgeport Police Chief AJ Perez referenced the incident in a statement following last week\u2019s press conference.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have recovered several ghost guns this year alone,\u201d he said. \u201cIt is time to take action and realize the unfortunate truth of how simple it is for people to create these unregistered and lethal firearms. These weapons are being spread across our city and we have to take a stand to prevent gun violence.\u201d<\/p>\n

Perez elaborated on the dangers of non-serialized firearms in his statement to reporters.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a piece of metal that you can easily buy in the markets,\u201d he said, holding up an unfinished 80-percent AR lower. \u201cBut if you can get this, you can make this,\u201d he continued, waving an AR-style short-barreled rifle. \u201cAnd this is a real weapon. This weapon will discharge anywhere from 50 to 30 rounds at a time.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou can make it fully automatic,\u201d he continued. \u201cAnd what is unique about this weapon is that there is no markings whatsoever. Usually when you buy something like this, there is a serial number, which can be traced \u2013 who made it, who this gun belongs to. This gun belongs to no one. This is a ghost gun. And that\u2019s the scary part.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ganim hopes that the success of this initiative will push the state legislature to enact a similar ban, but it\u2019s unclear how state bans on home-manufactured firearms would square with the long-standing legality of these items on the federal level.<\/p>\n

With a new (hopefully) pro-2A justice on the Supreme Court, the firearms community is expecting SCOTUS to finally rule on these kinds of issues. And if the pro-gun side is hopeful, the gun control lobby is equally concerned.<\/p>\n

\u201cI worry Kavanaugh will be influential,\u201d Connecticut Senator\u00a0Christopher S. Murphy\u00a0told Roll Call<\/a> earlier this year. \u201cI think there\u2019s a developing expectation that right-wing judges invalidate any and all restrictions on the Second Amendment. I worry he will pull the court to a place where no state or municipality can exercise any oversight on gun laws.\u201d<\/p>\n
