In a recent incident in Pennsylvania, a man was arrested after being found in possession of a 'ghost gun' during a search by local police at a McDonald's, as reported by NYPD Chief of Detectives Joseph Kenny.
According to Kenny, the gun in question had the capability of firing a 9mm round and was equipped with a suppressor. He further mentioned that the gun may have been 3D printed, and additional details will be revealed following ballistics testing.
'Ghost guns' are firearms that are typically homemade or assembled from various parts, making them untraceable as they lack serial numbers. These guns have raised concerns among law enforcement agencies due to their potential use in criminal activities.
The discovery of such a weapon highlights the ongoing challenges faced by authorities in monitoring and regulating the circulation of unregistered firearms. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of implementing stricter measures to address the proliferation of 'ghost guns' and enhance public safety.
