Mr. Litton, however, could not legally buy a gun because he was a felon. Mr. Honea said investigators believed that the handgun that Mr. Litton used was a homemade, untraceable gun made of parts from different weapons, often called a “ghost gun.”

So, what did California's gun control regime accomplish here?

It's also a lot easier than you seem to think it is to build them, and also buying them illegally is fairly trivial as well, and making that harder to do is unconstitutional if we limit guns and impossible if we're planning on limiting dremels, so the "make them harder to make" thing doesn't pan out is what I'm saying.

We've made them harder to buy, making them harderer to buy won't solve it.
