Ghost guns are firearms with no serial number and made up of component parts. They are usually purchased online and can be assembled in just under 30 minutes The untraceable nature of ghost guns makes it challenging for law enforcement to solve the crimes they are used in and bring criminals to justice.Last year, the NYPD recovered 275 ghost guns, the most when compared to previous years, according to police data. This year, the police department recovered 153 ghost guns, up 314% compared to the same time a year ago.
