If you sold a rifle to a person who's name you don't know then you could not have satisfied even the minimum requirements of a peer to peer transfer, and you know that..as our gun expert, I'm sure. There is a way for you to know, and you actually are federally required to have at least a credible expectation that you're not selling guns to a drug dealer for purposes of crime...but that's really irrelevant to the issue of ghost guns as it plays out in law enforcement. They want to track the gun, not your silly ass. You tell them you sold it to a guy named "John" who seemed decent enough and they'll be more interested in John than you - mostly because they're dealing with an issue where you sold a bunch of guns in one state that showed up together in another at the scene of a crime.. A ghost gun has no provenance whatsoever. You don't know where it came from, who it went through, or even who manufactured it t..when. Insomuch as we do actually have a system for managing all of that data and insomuch as our laws will allow and to whatever extent a budget affords - and this type of firearm is specifically designed to evade that -, the issue is clear.
No more love for law and order....? I mean, we wouldn't want cops getting murdered by completely untraceable weapons, would we? This doesn't seem like a lie of the left so much as a general complaint that uncle sam is coming for your ghost gun. At least it's true, in this case, which is refreshing. They'll have to rely on distribution as they find it and human sources rather than serialized production and transfer - but I suspect they'll have some success - given that they already find alot of illicit products without the benefit of such a system. As with so much else in law enforcement, I doubt that the end result will be anything other than squeezing possessors for information on suppliers, ad infinitum, till you find the nut in his basement making guns. Care to take a bet as to whether or not the cops will find something actionable when they raid him? Sounds like the kind of guy they might no knock, to me.
