Such guns are sometimes called "ghost guns" -- unregulated, easy to put together and almost impossible to trace because they have no serial number. There is nothing illegal about ghost guns, which are not to be confused with guns that have had their serial number erased. These steps will help limit the spread of ghost guns but the Giffords Center says only a national law on serial numbers can address the problem. "Traffickers can also buy 'normal' guns and use inexpensive tools to destroy their serial numbers, making them almost as difficult to trace as a homemade 'ghost gun.' AGE CHECKSPucini said he fears that more ghost guns will be used in school shootings because sellers do not check the age of buyers.
