Ghost Guns

It’s no secret that California Senator Kevin de Leon hates guns. His voting record shows ample proof of that. His latest crusade is against so-called “ghost guns.”

What is a “ghost gun?” Apparently, it’s a convenient catchall phrase (like “assault weapon”) that includes polymer receivers and guns without serial numbers. I’d ask Kevin himself, but he seems to be a bit fuzzy on technology. A shorter version of the video is here, but the gist of it is this statement, which is taken verbatim:

This is a ghost gun. This right here has the ability 30-caliber clip to disperse with 30 bullets within half a second. 30 magazine clip, half a second.

Right. So, um, that clears it right up. It’s a weapon chambered in 7.62 with a cyclic rate four times faster than the M16. I’m honestly unaware of any such thing.

Please, nobody ask him what a barrel shroud is.
