When you said you had little experience with guns I believe you. Your definition of so-called “Ghost Guns” is incredibly uninformed. The real problem with your interpretation of the second amendment to allow various legislative restrictions placed on gun ownership gives us draconian regulations like you have in New York, New Jersey, California and Illinois. These states continually make the laws more and more restrictive as time goes on. It seems like the real intention of these regulations is make to ordinary gun owners criminals and eventually outlaw all guns……
You apparently have done no research regarding the building of Eighty (80) percent firearms that the LooneyLeft intentionally for dramatic effect mislabeled “ghost guns.”
There is a significant amount of knowledge, tooling, and work that goes into their manufacturing, especially for them to work flawlessly.
During our Colonial and young nation stages the personal manufacturing or firearms was not uncommon nor did manufacturers have to register with the federal, state, or local governments.
Also, you have applied a modern usage for regulate, whereas the time specific use was more in keeping with the “regulating of a watch” wherein the militias were expected to perform with monitorable balance and accuracy whose performance could be monitored by observing its lethality as in killing British soldiers from revolutionary times through the War of 1812.
Unfortunately it seems we pro-2A citizens had idiots presenting our case before SCOTUS; even a great legal mind like you got it totally wrong.☹️
