Polymer80, estimated to sell nearly 90 percent of the “ghost gun” parts in the U.S., stopped selling in California and in 12 other states where unserialized parts are banned.
Students exit Saugus High School in Santa Clarita, Calif., after a shooting on the campus in 2019. Authorities said the teen who shot five classmates, killing two, used an unregistered “ghost gun.” Polymer80, the leading manufacturer of “ghost gun” kits, has agreed to stop selling them to California residents and will pay $5 million in penalties as part of a lawsuit settlement with the Los Angeles city attorney.
Polymer80 joined gun rights groups who sued to stop the rule, and a judge in Texas issued an injunction against it earlier this year. The Biden administration recently asked the Supreme Court to review the case, and the high court allowed the rule to remain in place until it decides the issue.
But Polymer80 did not stop selling gun parts to teenagers. The number of incidents in which a youth used a ghost gun to wound or kill others has soared in recent years, police and federal authorities say. Part of the reason is because they can be ordered online without a background or identity check, since makers of ghost gun parts do not believe the parts legally qualify as a gun.In 2021, an 18-year-old in Fairfax County, Va.
Documents filed with the settlement show that Polymer80, based in Nevada, sold more than 200,000 unserialized gun kits into California, including more than 1,600 “Buy-Build-Shoot” kits, from 2017 to August of this year. “Buy-Build-Shoot” kits contain all the parts needed to build a full gun.
