House Bill Would Mandate Tracking Triggers, Gun Barrels
When anti-gun advocates claim they don’t want to take away your rights, legislation like this proves otherwise. To them, armed self-defense is not a right but a privilege—one that should be restricted, regulated, and doled out only under extreme circumstances.
The latest example of this mindset comes from U.S. Rep. Jill Tokuda (D-HI), who introduced a bill that many see as another step toward criminalizing lawful gun ownership and tracking law-abiding citizens.
The Ghost Act Targets Lawful Gun Owners Under the Guise of Crime Prevention
Rep. Tokuda’s proposed legislation, titled the Gun Hardware Oversight and Shipment Tracking Act (Ghost Act), aims to impose federal tracking on firearm components such as triggers, barrels, and other key parts.
The supposed goal? Combatting the rise of so-called “ghost guns.” In her words: “Let’s not make it easy for people to buy the parts that they need to make weapons of destruction, endangering law enforcement, killing everyday people, and innocent lives across this country.”
But critics argue that this is yet another example of political theater. Rather than addressing the root causes of violent crime, Tokuda’s bill would increase surveillance on legal gun owners and retailers, while doing little to stop actual criminals who operate outside the law.
Like many other gun control bills, it’s framed as a common-sense measure, but it opens the door to mass regulation, tracking, and surveillance of individual gun parts that are often used for lawful purposes—like repairs, customizations, and sport shooting.
A Step Toward a National Gun Registry?
The Ghost Act would also require that gun parts be shipped via certified mail, with mandatory signatures upon delivery. What seems like a minor requirement at first glance could be a slippery slope toward something far more intrusive.
Gun rights advocates warn that this is a tactic to build an unofficial gun registry, one part at a time. While no national registry currently exists, every new tracking bill inches closer to government control over every aspect of firearm ownership.
The bill’s backers are particularly incensed that gun owners can purchase replacement parts online—something that has long been legal and commonplace. But Tokuda’s legislation would mandate that all sales, even for individual parts, take place in person with a background check—further burdening responsible gun owners while offering little deterrent to crime.
Critics argue that this proposal, like many before it, targets the wrong people. Instead of punishing criminals, it penalizes law-abiding Americans trying to exercise their Second Amendment rights.
In the end, legislation like the Ghost Act is unlikely to stop those with malicious intent—but it may make life a lot harder for responsible gun owners just trying to maintain their firearms and defend their families.
