The senators highlighted a loophole in existing gun laws that allows purchasers to buy a ghost gun kit for a few hundred dollars, assemble it themselves. The ATF does not regulate these kits as firearms.
The use of ghost guns contributes to wider gun violence, the senators wrote, but because of the lack of regulation it can be difficult to collect data on ghost guns or investigate crimes involving the weapons. According to the Gun Violence Archive, at least 19,233 Americans lost their lives to gun violence in 2020, the highest number in the last two decades, the senator wrote. We fear the number will only increase without swift action on ghost guns.
