They've since declared they will no longer accept them because they aren't, essentially, "real weapons"...which rather undermines their argument at large, funnily enough. Why regulate them if they aren't real guns, Houston? Can't have it both ways; would be grounds for a clever lawsuit, honestly.
Simple; do what Newsom is attempting in Cali and make illegal/regulated the 3D printers/lathes that allow 'ghost guns' to be made.

Oh, lovely. They've sent me a mo-ron.
This fear of guns gets really weird with how they demonise them with names like ghost guns.
If this world runs on comic book logic I would expect an antihero obsessed with the right to bear arms become the world's notorious arms trafficker giving them for free or on the cheap to the disenfranchised that the sky is raining guns that gun control won't work.

Gun control really started to be a thing after Wold War I, when the aristocrats realized that the commoners had very good and legitimate reasons to depose them after that pointless war.

That's why they're an antihero. Some will use it responsibly while others would take them to becomes as bad as those who oppress them.
Actually, Gun Control in the US predates that by a good 60 years... dating back to prior to the Civil War you had laws that prohibited former slaves from owning firearms. And in the post Civil War era you had prohibitions on blacks owning firearms. Gun control in the US was very much founded in racism and slavery out of fear of a slave uprising/blacks being able to fight back against persecution. It was only in the mid-20th century did it begin to expand beyond that.
Article: BREAKING: VanDerStok v. Garland (N.D. TX): Judge grants partial preliminary injunction in lawsuit challenging ATF "frame or receiver" rule, limiting it to the retailer plaintiff but allowing the others to submit briefing on the scope of the injunction.
Article: "Congress has not extended ATF’s authority so far. That the firearm part is 'designed' to be or may one day become a frame or receiver does not change the fact that, in that moment, it is not 'the frame or receiver of any such weapon.'"
LOL LMAO:
Article: Don Thompson, 78, is a regular user of Amazon, sometimes ordering as many as four or five packages a day, and he says the e-commerce giant is usually pretty accurate.
"They don't get them wrong often," Thompson told CBS News Colorado.
But somehow they got one of his recent orders very wrong, sending him a new .20 gauge shotgun instead of the screen mesh he had ordered to repair a screen door.
"I was totally dumbfounded. It's terrifying, absolutely terrifying to me," said Thompson, who formerly worked in law enforcement.
....
CBS News Colorado confirmed the tracking number given to him for his screen mesh order was the same tracking number that appeared on the box containing the shotgun. The mailing label indicated the firearm had been sent from an Amazon fulfillment center in Aurora, Illinois.
Amazon says it does not stock or sell firearms.
...
Thompson contacted the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office which came to his home and took custody of the shotgun.
"It does appear that it(shotgun) was stolen, but we've barely begun our investigation and there is apparently a lot to unravel," said Jenny Fulton with the Jefferson County Sheriff's Office.

Good on him. That package wasn't meant for him and "return to sender" wasn't in the hand he was delt or the deck of cards.
