ORLANDO, Fla. - Recent changes to state gun laws raised the minimum age to 21 for gun purchases with a three-day waiting period. But 9 Investigates discovered that there remains a legal loophole to obtain semi-automatic weapons without a background check.
For several hundred dollars, anyone can buy one without a background check, no matter their age.
Lake County deputies helped 9 Investigates' Karla Ray assemble a "ghost gun," so named because it lacks a serial number, making it untraceable.
"It's a legal means of obtaining a weapon," Lake County Detective James Getford said. |

TO REMEMBER |
| [The American Colonies were] all democratic governments, where the power is in the hands of the people and where there is not the least difficulty or jealousy about putting arms into the hands of every man in the country. [European countries should not] be ignorant of the strength and the force of such a form of government and how strenuously and almost wonderfully people living under one have sometimes exerted themselves in defence of their rights and liberties and how fatally it has ended with many a man and many a state who have entered into quarrels, wars and contests with them. — George Mason, "Remarks on Annual Elections for the Fairfax Independent Company" in The Papers of George Mason, 1725-1792, ed Robert A. Rutland (Chapel Hill, 1970). |
