A CBS News investigative report demonstrated the ease of building a "ghost gun"—an unregistered firearm with no serial number—using a do-it-yourself kit purchased online. The reporter successfully assembled a functional 9mm handgun in less than three hours under supervision, though he declined to test-fire the weapon himself. Critics of the report pointed out the inherent anti-gun bias in the segment, particularly the decision to have the weapon destroyed by police immediately after the demonstration.
