A privately made firearm, also called a ghost gun or homemade firearm, is a firearm made by a private individual, in contrast to one produced by a corporate or government entity.[1] The term "ghost gun" is used mostly in the United States by gun control advocates, but it is being adopted by gun rights advocates and the firearm industry.[2]
