Now, when I asked Senator Johnson about this, he said that certainly wasn't the intent of this bill. And when I called Vanderbilt, it took the institution three days to reply. And what did they say? No comment.

Meadows sought to leverage that decision to apply to him.

They're called ghost guns because these build-it-yourself gun kits, when assembled, have no serial numbers and can't be traced when found at a crime scene.

The sellers of the kits challenge the rule, contending that a bunch of parts do not count as guns.
