'...Ghost guns are being brought into Santa Clara County at a level we have never seen before,' DA Rosen said. 'People are getting robbed, people are getting murdered and we will not stand by.'
"Part by illegal part, ghost guns are being brought into Santa Clara County at a level we have never seen before," Rosen said."People are getting robbed, people are getting murdered and we will not stand by."
County Supervisors Otto Lee and Cindy Chavez have partnered with DA Rosen on an ordinance prohibiting the possession, manufacturing and assembly of ghost guns within county. It would build upon a state ghost gun regulation law going into effect in July to help ensure safety in the county from what officials call"deadly DIY projects."
"I would like to advise anyone who is thinking to purchase this or buy this online, don't," Lee said."This is a crime.""We will do everything in our power through prevention, through laws and ordinances, police operations and through prosecutions to make these ghost guns disappear,' Rosen said.
