Mayor Eric Adams is praising a new federal directive to regulate the sale of unfinished firearms, also known as ghost guns. These partially built firearms have become more popular in recent years since buyers can bypass background checks to purchase guns. Ghost guns also typically lack serial numbers, making them difficult to track.to all federally licensed firearms dealers this week instructing them to follow the same steps for ghost gun sales that they do for sales of other firearms, even if a gun was only partially assembled and could be "readily" completed.
“I applaud the Biden-Harris administration, and ATF specifically, for taking this common-sense step to regulate the sale of deadly weapons and close this long-standing loophole that has contributed to the increase in violent crime across the country,” Adams said in a statement on Wednesday. “We know that nothing can bring back the victims of gun violence, but this action will help spare more families the heartbreak of losing a loved one to these deadly and untraceable weapons.
