Senate Committee Debate on Ghost Guns: Ted Cruz vs. Richard Blumenthal

Published | Video Starts at 00:48

This frame in a so called jig was made by a 3D printer, can be made by anyone drilling holes to make it functional, and then parts can be bought in a gun store or elsewhere. It becomes a firearm capable of killing, injuring and doing as much damage as any firearm bought in a store, except it has no serial number. It is untraceable and often undetectable. The so called ghost guns that we're talking about are nothing but homemade firearms. Homemade firearms aren't any more dangerous than any other firearms. (00:48–01:04)

CLAIM
