Bureaucrat legislates policy
It's boring, and your lack of creativity knows no bounds.

everyone else- uh, we were just following the law as written.

I've seen blank firing prop guns and starter pistols converted to where they can fire standard handgun cartridges. Not necessarily in safety or with accuracy, but it'll go "bang" and send a bullet downrange at least once.
Where the U.S. calls the receiver a gun, some countries will define it as the barrel, but that's not an answer either. A musket or shotgun is nothing more than pipe with some creative drilling applied.
All of the above illustrates the idiocy of banning stuff rather than actual crime.

Hilarious.
The Cartels are buying 80% receivers and finishing them in machine shops, huh? The Cartels are getting their weaponry from GOVERNMENTS. North and south of the Mexican border.
Back to regulation of ghost guns...What you are suggesting requires the oversight of every CNC machine/lathe and 3D printer and the oversight of every parts kit sold.
Let's not forget serial numbers on firearms weren't required prior to 1968. We'll need to demand all guns older than 50 be serialized.
This is how "we gotta do something" laws creates unintended consequences. We find the loopholes, criminals ignore it altogether, and the government imprisons the poor bastard with the unserialized 1967 Marlin 60.
Screw that. It's hard enough navigating the laws as they are written now. Why add more BS ineffective laws?

While Alpha may claim the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed at the level of the individual, by this statement, he apparently thinks the government should be able to infringe upon those who manufacture or sell them all it wants. . .
. . .which amounts to infringement on the individual who wants to keep and bear arms, who are, after all, the end-users of these products.
I've said it before and will keep saying it: Your background checks and waiting periods are an infringement of not only our 2nd Amendment rights, they also presume us guilty until government bureaucracies (of varying agendas) determine we're innocent. The need for those background checks and waiting periods only exists because YOU KEEP LETTING RECIDIVIST CRIMINALS OUT OF JAIL, AND THEY DO NOTHING TO STOP THE GUY THAT HASN'T BEEN CAUGHT YET!!!
Alpha also misses one key point: Ummmmm. . .CRIMINALS! How much are they really going to care if you try to regulate unserialized firearms? They don't seem to care all that much that cocaine, heroin, and methamphetamine are illegal; the importation of them is illegal; and the manufacturing of them is illegal.
We're regulating the purchase of Sudafed because somebody MIGHT turn it into meth; you're saying you want to regulate Bridgeport because somebody MIGHT make a firearm on one of their mills?
Think it through Alpha. Think it through.

This philosophy needs to apply to all of us when we think a new law is the answer.
The government has enough god damn power.

Bumpstocks
High capacity magazines
Semi auto assault rifles
bayonet lugs
grenade launchers
barrel shrouds
hollow points
cop killer bullets
Glocks (undetectable in airport xray machines)
ghost guns
body armor
50 caliber rifles
The list is always changing and always growing. The antis rely on the uninformed public and the Fudds to support banning the scary-sounding stuff.
**** that. No more compromise. No more compliance.

Karma.........It’s a bitch.
So...a bunch of Americans riding in a car, wearing disapproved clothing, exercising their 2A rights, and you want the cops to arrest them. Everything else is just statist fantasy.
Think it through Alpha. Think it through.

Alpha I get what you are saying, BUT, where would it stop? How many people in our country are criminals compared to law abiding? One of your graphs will show how many good people you are going to make jump through hoops
