The Rise of Ghost Guns and Their Implications
Ghost guns, or privately made firearms, have surged in popularity, particularly among criminals. Unlike traditional firearms, these weapons are assembled from parts and lack serial numbers, making them untraceable to law enforcement. Reports indicate that the number of ghost guns recovered by law enforcement more than doubled in 2021 compared to the previous year, and in 2022, over 25,000 of these weapons were recovered, representing a staggering 1,300% increase since 2016. Advocacy groups label ghost guns as the fastest-growing gun safety issue, prompting calls for stronger regulation at the federal level.
