The article is HEAVILY slanted, but please tell me King's statement is being taken out of context and/or manipulated to sow discord within the 2A community.

The head of the New York State Rifle and Pistol Association said the sale of ghost guns is a growing problem.
“These '80 percent' guns are providing a way for prohibited people to buy a firearm,†Tom King of the NYSRPA said, referring to people who don’t have a gun permit or are otherwise prohibited from possessing a gun.
He said self-assembled guns provide a way for competition shooters to make a custom-fitted firearm. Such weapons should have serial numbers and be registered — and any new legislation should consider such a provision, he said. But it appears increasingly, King said, people trying to evade the law are the ones buying and selling self-assembled weapons.
“It appears what was meant to be something for competitive shooters and serious shooters to build their own unique firearm may be turning into a criminal enterprise,†King said.
