In this recent article ABC news recycles what they think is a big talking point…

“From 2016 through 2020, there were approximately 23,906 suspected ghost guns recovered by law enforcement from potential crime scenes, according to the DOJ.”

They are using this stat time-and-time again in their recent push to shape the narrative for Biden. But, this time they left out a key number from that same set of data that they did recently publish in another previous article below…

“From Jan. 1, 2016, through Dec. 31, 2020, there were approximately 23,906 suspected [privately made firearms] reported to ATF as having been recovered by law enforcement from potential crime scenes, including 325 homicides or attempted homicides“

Pay particular attention to the end of that sentence… Only 325 so called DIY ‘ghost guns’ were actually used in a homicide in four years. Thats 81.25 per year. Thats only 1.6 annually per state (if equally distributed). There are literally countless DIY firearms in circulation… I can only imagine how microscopic the percentage is for those 325 used in a homicide compared to all the DIY guns in circulation. So called ‘ghost guns’ are a manufactured crisis, and ABC News is actively acting as a domestic enemy to the free state.
