    Depends on who you ask. Dems consider “ghost guns” to be simply guns without serial numbers and there are plenty of those. That’s the benefit of making up and popularizing a new term, you get to then decide what it means.

      It’s not like serial numbers are all that useful. It doesn’t help solve a murder unless you already have ballistics for a weapon with that serial number. It might help you find a stolen gun if the person who reported it stolen even writes it down.
