broken the system was before because he went ahead and recorded this, he ordered all the components to build a ghost gun in his deceased daughter s name and did so successfully. no questions asked. and so people who are buying these ghost guns are those who can t pass background checks, those who want to commit crimes. there s a reason you re seeing them showing up in more and more crimes today. i applaud the president. today was a big deal. you re bringing awareness, this is the president, to something that a lot of the conversations don t lift up. i mean, we spend a lot of time talking about the nra s grip on gun policies and gun politics. but what you re describing is something that for a lot of the less informed conversations seems to fly under the radar. is this can you sort of describe how many are there numbers, is it quantifiable, how much of the violence we re seeing is being carried out with
