‘Ghost Gun’ Kits Banned by Biggest Gun Show Promoter in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro announced on Monday that the biggest gun show promoter in Pennsylvania has banned the sale of so-called “80 percent receiver” kits, a common basis for untraceable homemade ghost guns.
Shapiro said at a March 15 press conference that Eagle Arms Productions has agreed to stop selling the kits at its shows, marking the first time a gun show promoter in the United States has prohibited the sale of the 80 percent receivers.
The kits, also known as “80 percent lowers,” are controversial because they are typically sold without background checks, and can be assembled into a fully-functioning firearm that lacks a serial number and so essentially cannot be traced.
In March 2020, Gov. Tom Wolf faced a crucial decision in the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued guidance for long-term care facilities to all 50 States. âGuidanceâ is the important word here as this was not a âdirectiveâ to each governor.
The March 13 CDC guidance stated that nursing homes âshouldâ admit any individuals that they would normally admit (with or without COVID). But it did not say that they âmustâ admit these individuals.
The governors of 45 of 50 states followed the science and rejected the absurd, science-denying idea of sending sick COVID patients into the most vulnerable population. However, the governors of five states (Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey, Michigan and California) foolishly and recklessly rejected science-based germ theory and had their respective health secretaries issue guidance to send the sick back into long-term care facilities.

A week after announcing the arrests of four Philadelphia men on firearms charges following surveillance at the Morgantown Gun Show in Berks County, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Monday that the stateâs largest gun show promoter has agreed to ban the sale of do-it-yourself gun kits.
Shapiro called the ban of ghost gun kits imposed by Breinigsville-based firearms dealer Eagle Arms at all its gun shows a significant step in curtailing the growing threat to public safety from the privately assembled firearms.
âThis is a significant step,â Shapiro said, standing at a podium placarded with the words âUntrackableâ and âGhost Gunsâ and displaying one of the 80% ready-made receiver kits that were displayed by the hundreds at the Morgantown show.
