Democrats in Congress have introduced an anti-gun measure to regulate machinery that is designed for manufacturing firearm frames or receivers.
The bill, titled H.R.7468, and referred to as the “Stop Home Manufacturing of Ghost Guns Act of 2020” aims to restrict ownership of firearms manufacturing devices for private citizens without a FFL or a manufacturer that produces these machines for FLL’s.
The bill has the support of anti-gun advocates such as Everytown.
The definition of a “firearms manufacturing device” is not clear and has some questioning how far the bill will actually go to ban milling devices that can be used for generic metal milling and customization work.
While it could be argued by the bill’s sponsors that the measure is aimed at high-profile desktop milling machines like the Ghost Gunner and similar devices, it should be pointed out that there are dozens of different brands of hobbyist-level mini CNC machines for sale both online and at hardware outlet chains such as Harbor Freight that can be used in an array of metal and polymer fabrication work to include producing firearm frames or receivers. This suggests the bill’s sponsors may not be aware of what they are trying to accomplish, or, worse, are being coy with the scope of the legislation.
As Guns.com points out, this may not address the actual “issue” at hand for Democrats. With today’s technology and 3D printers you may not even need a drill press or milling machine to create a polymer or aluminum frame.
The Giffords organization has also fully supported this measure.
“We must stop the proliferation of these easy to make, untraceable guns that can be obtained with no background check, “Adzi Vokhina, Giffords Federal Affairs Director, contends. “Clamping down on the milling machines that make it virtually effortless to create an arsenal of untraceable weapons from a basement or garage is a good place to start.”
Note the key word at the end of their statement. It’s a good place to “start”. It won’t end here.
HF one is out of stock

Better ban ideas.
I lost my ghost guns while wearing a boating accident shirt.
The very attempt to propose such “Legislation”, is treason against the people, they have no authority for any of this stuff at multiple levels of such type restrictions, we here totally get it and know what is happening and what the agenda is.
We see the attacks happening on multiple fronts; as we have understood would take place. It is taking place in real time, the only thing now is to know how fast this will probably fulcrum to where these fkrs are in our faces mandating one thing or another.
Take names and numbers, extract retribution when most advantageous. It will be the Lone wolves and unorganized militias that will finally take action, cause the organized militia is waiting for us to die for them, just fyi on that.
Oh and fk these tyrants who claim authority over the people and our laws.
Because they are actually saying I can’t have one
I’m going to work as hard as I can to prove them wrong
The aluminum in my shop should be scared as hell
