In New York City, there's been a more than 300% increase in ghost gun seizures so far this year compared with the same time period last year.
As the U.S. continues to deal with an outbreak of mass shootings, police say that they are seeing more guns on the nation's streets than ever before.
John DeVito, the ATF's lead agent in New York City, told CBS News there are possibly 500 million firearms on the nation's streets right now, and another 18 to 20 million are added each year.
