Videos tagged with Untraceable Firearm

This video from GUNBROS clarifies the definition of a 'ghost gun' as an untraceable firearm, typically manufactured without serial numbers. It explains the ATF's role in firearm traceability through serial numbers and paper trails, and discusses how ghost guns bypass this system. The speaker notes that while some states permit individuals to manufacture their own firearms, these cannot be transferred, and argues that the presence of a serial number is irrelevant to a criminal's intent.

William Kirk of Washington Gun Law explains that while the 5th Circuit Court vacated the ATF's Frame and Receiver Rule (2021R-05F) in VanDerStock v. Garland, this federal victory has limited practical impact for Washington State residents. Existing state statutes, particularly HB 1705, impose near-total bans on the manufacture and possession of unserialized firearms, often defined as those lacking a federal licensee's serial number and manufactured after July 1, 2019. Kirk emphasizes that state law remains the primary governing factor for firearm regulations in Washington.
