(Long article so I won't copy and paste.)
So I also don't know if the number 1% or 80% but it seems to a problem that law enforcement is facing. Particularly in the western US.
I'm not really going to get into the nuts and bolts of the article, mainly because I don't have the patience to do so and I doubt it would be received by some anyways. But I will comment on this choice bit;
"While serialized guns "tell a story" of where they came from, trying to trace a ghost gun back to its source, or to related crimes, is a significant challenge."
The underlined bit is 100% bullshit. A home manufactured firearm still uses a rifled barrel. Consequently it will leave the same rifling marks on a fired round that any other gun will leave, hence this statement is blatantly false. Fired rounds can be linked to these firearms just as easily as any other.
