Democrat San Diego City Councilwoman MarniVonWilpert applauds Joe Biden’s new ghost gun rule. Biden threatened federal prosecution against anyone using a so-called 'ghost gun.' The rule targets the weapon instead of the people using them.
SAN DIEGO – Democrat City Councilwoman Marni von Wilpert Monday lauded President Joe Biden’s planned measures intended to crack down on so-called “ghost guns,” following similar actions taken by the city and county of San Diego in recent months.
Ghost guns are unregulated firearms that lack serial numbers by which they can be identified and are typically assembled from purchased or homemade components. Minors or those normally prohibited from owning firearms can purchase such a weapon without a background check. Under Biden’s new rule, “buy build shoot” kits — do-it-yourself gun kits that individuals can buy without a background check and assemble into a working firearm at home — will be considered firearms under the Gun Control Act, which requires serial numbers on each firearm, sellers be licensed and background checks on purchasers.
“Not only are state and local prosecutors going to come after you, but expect federal charges and federal prosecution too,” he said.
