What are these "undetectable ghost guns" and how many crimes are committed with them?

You can't unring a bell. They will be in the underworld forever. Sort of like the war on drugs.

Dog and pony show, as always. It's been proven numerous times that weapon traces very seldom provide any useful evidence to investigators.
Mist of the time weapons traces are conducted in situations when the suspect is already known, apprehended and has other evidence against them with the trace simply being added to the pile. In one debate an authority was asked to provide a single case in which a weapon trace return was the determining factor in a conviction. No such case was able to be found.
Thus is a which hunt, done for pu lic consumption for a political end. So called "ghost" guns are not, nor have they ever been nor ever will be, a threat to public safety.

Your Honor, the defendant was arrested after allegedly being seen holding an invisible gun, which mysteriously has disappeared from the evidence room

Um no. Once its past the "80%" point it already is already regulated under federal law that it would need to be marked with the makers info to transfer and generally would need to go through a FFL to ship across state lines.

Yeah it is a massive hole. Because we know everybody and their brother are turning these out by the pallet-load.
About damn time if I ever came face to face with a ghost with a gun, I'd probably shit my pants!

This is going to be as effective as their war on drugs.

No, this thread is a push at the Federal level to have DHS resurrect the "ghost gun" bogeyman every year in the form of a "threat assessment". The thread you quoted is in reference to the NY bills. Thankfully, the NY bills don't seem to affect 80% components. It seems the NY bill is only targeting non-metallic guns (basically 3-D printed guns, though in theory you could also make them with traditional methods utilizing non-traditional materials and they would be stronger and more practical).
They're intentionally trying to conflate manufacture for personal use with Glock 7-esque "ghost guns" that can pass through metal detectors. Evidently it's working very well.
Arrest them!

The defendant was shot when he made a move for his invisible gun. The body Was obviously never recovered. The incident was witnessed first hand by an old woman from the 1800'S who was outside waiting for her husband to return from Gettysburg.
