Why is the term 'ghost gun' controversial?

The term 'ghost gun' is controversial because it's seen as a fear-mongering tactic by gun control proponents to stigmatize firearms assembled from kits.

The USCCA, through its instructors, aims to correct the misuse of the term 'ghost gun.' They advocate for accurate firearm terminology, arguing that labeling firearm kits as 'ghost guns' is a deliberate strategy to erode gun rights and that the focus should be on the legality and function of the firearm, not a pejorative label.

How are 'assault weapons' defined in the context of gun control debates?

According to the video, the term 'assault weapon' is often defined by gun control groups based on cosmetic features like pistol grips or barrel shrouds, rather than functional differences. This subjective definition can lead to standard firearms being misclassified and targeted by legislation.
