A homemade fully automatic rifle, confiscated by the Department of Justice, is displayed at a news conference held by Sen. Kevin de Leon where he unveiled legislation dealing with so called "ghost guns," at the Capitol in Sacramento, Calif., Monday, Jan. 13, 2014. Under de Leon's proposed legislation, SB808 would allow the manufacture or assembly of homemade weapons, but require the makers to first apply to the state Department of Justice for a serial number that would be given only after the applicants undergo a background check. De Leon plans to amend the bill to also require that guns contain permanent pieces of metal that could be detected by X-ray machines and metal detectors. .(AP Photo/Rich Pedroncelli)
