You can't. They are referencing chunks of polymer and/or metal that have some pieces cut out of them. People use these raw materials to manufacture things, including firearms.
Sounds like there are certain folks using the term "ghost guns" to create a "boogie man under the bed" type argument.

As usual, I find myself "out dated". I thought selling any firearm to someone from another state required an FFL do the transfer. Maybe I am not up to speed on what exactly is a "ghost gun"? I had no idea I could purchase a complete "gun" with no serial number anywhere on the "gun".

It clearly is theft.
On Twitter, when this story first broke, someone told me that it had actually happened to him, and he didn’t get the package until 2 weeks after it was shipped. Turns out that a woke UPS employee, thinking that it was a box of ammo, had taken the package home and soaked it in a bucket of water for a week before bringing it back and reinserting it into the shipping stream. It was a box of special screws for some antique rifles. Don’t know what happened to the employee…likely nothing.
The employee thought it was a box of ammo? UPS is one of only two carriers that permit the shipment of ammo. There are special rules on labeling and the package can only be picked up from your home by the driver(at additional charge) or you have to take it to an actual UPS shipping facility, (not a ups store). I sold approximately 30K rounds of, .223 and 5.62x39, ammo between November last year and March this year. All shipped via UPS. All was delivered. All plainly stated "Wolf Ammo" on the box. Any employee at UPS that saw the box would have no doubt it is ammo. If an employee took it upon themselves to take a package home, it would be a felony. No?
