Related: About this forum'Ghost guns' face rules under California bill
SACRAMENTO, Calif. The state Senate approved a bill Thursday that would require people who assemble homemade guns to register the weapons and acquire serial numbers before they could legally own them.
SB808 by Sen. Kevin de Leon, D-Los Angeles, is intended to combat the spread of undetectable guns that can fall into the hands of people who are legally barred from owning firearms under state and federal laws.
De Leon says so-called "ghost guns" are "built at home and put together like Lego," often using parts that are widely available without a background check and using videos posted online.
He cites the case of John Zawahri, who authorities said assembled his own military-style assault rifle and killed five people in Santa Monica in a June rampage, even after he was banned from legally buying a gun in California because of mental health issues.

Stinkwad can't even speak to the topic without a couple pathetic uniformed LEOs behind him to give an air of authority.
Fascist and a shit excuse for a Democrat, he should be shown the door by his constituents and replaced with a real Democrat.

Only problem is it's not really a ghost gun since it has a SN.
