    The silly thing is if you put the stats into context they are pretty meagre. Take the NYC ones, a quick google shows they confiscated 10 x as many illegal handguns in half the time (vs the ghost guns) - so it would indicate that ghost guns only make up less than 5% of the illegal guns on the streets of new york.

    Maybe because handguns have been in production longer than ghost guns so theres more of them. I think plenty of old timers had a hand gun stashed somewhere but didnt broacast it to the world. I know my grandfather had one. Only saw it once when I was little, a revolver of some kind from memory. Dont know what happened to it...

    I love this quote from the article:

    “I had my first firearm, a well-engineered potato cannon that shot more than potatoes, confiscated by local police at 14 years old,” Schmidt said.

    Those potato cannons can certainly deal to the odd neighborhood window.... not that I'd have experience with that
