I am the man who mentioned the grandson shot in the head with a so-called ghost gun. Julie, I must write to clarify and perhaps supplement the comments I made during the session last Monday. Thanks to stellar medical care he received, and prayers from many people, the young man is alive today. The projectile hit the occipital bone above his right eye and fragmented upon impact. The fragments entered his skull through the right eye, which he lost. One fragment remains lodged in his brain, deemed too deep to safely remove. The good news is that he recovered quickly enough to complete high school with his class and graduate last month. But the remainder of his life has been inalterably changed by the actions of another 17-year-old boy who somehow acquired the ghost gun and brought it, with ammunition, to a small gathering of teenagers at a suburban home. The ready availability of the components needed to construct a ghost gun to virtually anyone - including minors - must be addressed.

Thank you so much for this additional information.
