For example, if an individual builds a firearm at home and then sells it to a pawn broker or another federally licensed dealer, that dealer must put a serial number on the weapon before selling it to a customer. This requirement will apply regardless of how the firearm was made, meaning it includes ghost guns made from individual parts, kits, or by 3D-printers.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=uX8_hA6oCK4\">expounded<\/a> on the information in the Fact Sheet during his speech, then renewed his calls for an \u201cassault weapons\u201d ban and universal background checks.<\/p>\n<p>After announcing so-called \u201cghost gun\u201d controls,\u201d and pushing the other gun controls, Biden said, \u201cBy the way \u2014 it\u2019s going to sound bizarre \u2014 I support the Second Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>He continued, \u201cBut from the very beginning the Second Amendment didn\u2019t say you could own any gun you want, as big as you want.
