• A felon or domestic abuser can go from kit to gun in as little as 30 minutes. Buyers aren’t required to pass a background check. And because the guns have no serial numbers, when they show up at crime scenes, they can’t be traced.

• Last year alone, law enforcement reported approximately 20,000 suspected ghost guns to ATF. That’s a ten-fold increase from 2016. These guns are the weapon of choice for many criminals — and we’re going to do everything we can to deprive them of that choice.

• A year ago this week, I said we would rein in the proliferation of ghost guns. The gun lobby tried to tie up regulators in paperwork. But today, we kept our promise and made it illegal to manufacture ghost gun kits without a serial number or sell them without a background check.
