So-called 'ghost guns' are nearly untraceable firearms without a serial number that can be made at home. Police said Monday that the gun used in last week's shooting of Brian Thompson may have been made with a 3D printer.
The brazen killing of UnitedHealthcare’s CEO was likely carried out with a ghost gun, one of the nearly untraceable weapons that can be made a home, police said Monday.A ghost gun is a firearm without a serial number, and police believe the one used in last week's shooting of Brian Thompson may have been made with a 3D printer. It was capable of firing 9 mm rounds. The man arrested in the crime, Luigi Mangione, also had sound suppressor, or silencer, police said.
As police found more ghost guns at crime scenes, the Biden administration moved to add age requirements and background checks in 2022.Buying one now is more like purchasing a regular gun at a gun shop.The number of ghost guns has since flattened out or declined in several major cities, including New York, Los Angeles, Philadelphia and Baltimore, according to court documents.But gun groups have challenged the regulation in court.
