Imagine the scene: anti-gun crusaders at NYU, armed with Michael Bloomberg’s deep-pocketed data on ghost guns—those scary, unserialized DIY firearms—eager to drop a bombshell linking them to skyrocketing murders. Instead, their own study backfires spectacularly, revealing no statistical tie to homicides whatsoever. Zilch. Nada. The headline-grabbing violence narrative crumbles, leaving them to pivot awkwardly to suicides, where they found a mere association with ghost gun recoveries. It’s like blaming kitchen knives for more self-harm because ERs see more of them during flu season—correlation dressed up as causation, courtesy of the billionaire-funded echo chamber.
Dig deeper, and this Bloomberg-backed research exposes the playbook of gun control advocates: cherry-pick data that fits the fearmongering script while burying inconvenient truths. Ghost guns, often just homemade or privately made firearms protected under the Supreme Court’s *Bruen* framework and Heller’s core right to keep arms for self-defense, aren’t fueling murder sprees. Homicides? Unaffected. This aligns perfectly with broader trends—FBI stats show violent crime dipping even as gun ownership surges post-pandemic. The real implication? Suicide rates, tragically high in America (about 14 per 100k, per CDC), aren’t swayed by restricting law-abiding citizens’ access to personalized firearms. Means restriction flops historically; studies like Harvard’s own reviews show safe storage and mental health interventions work far better than bans.
For the 2A community, this is red meat: another self-own by the prohibitionists, underscoring that ghost guns are a phantom menace invented to erode the right to build and bear arms without government snitch marks. It bolsters lawsuits challenging ATF overreach on frames and receivers, and reminds us that Bloomberg’s billions can’t manufacture a crisis where none exists. Share this far and wide—it’s proof the data is on our side, even when they wield it. Stay vigilant, build on, and keep fighting for the Second Amendment.
