Nah, it'll be pistols or ARs for straight up taking what they want. Ghost guns are nothing.

Ghost guns are nothing.

Homemade firearms (aka "ghost guns") composed most of the firearms used by the patriots during the American Revolution, and are one of the few ways to dodge a gun registry, so I wouldn't say they are "nothing."

I mean in the scheme of ways to completely confiscate arms, ghost guns are the most difficult to track and catch. It would be easier to go after everyone who did a background check at an FFL with records of each gun they purchased. So why ghost guns?

So why ghost guns?

Same reason they want universal background checks (HR8). They need a watertight registry first (and right now the 4473 system has way too many holes in it to be used as a registry, thanks to private sales) before they can get to confiscating guns.
