"Ghost guns" no more popular with crooks than other guns

In this job, I read a lot of scare-mongering about so-called ghost guns. Homemade firearms that millions of people build each year and then use for lawful purposes are continually demonized because a small handful of criminals also get hold of such weapons.

Time and time again, we tend to find that this particular type of gun isn’t really the dominant firearm on the street.

But, the media will try to pretend otherwise with headlines like, “‘Ghost guns’ popular with criminals on coasts, used in Lenexa murder-suicide.”
