California Bill Would Require Background Checks for Plastic Gun Makers
A California lawmaker proposed legislation Monday to make background checks and gun registrations requirements for anyone who builds plastic firearms, dubbed “ghost guns,” on a 3-D printer at home. The bill, by state Sen. Kevin de Leon (D-Los Angeles), would also apply to anyone who buys parts that can be assembled into a gun, Fox News reports.
These plastic guns can go unnoticed by metal detectors and can be assembled at home without safeguards.
