A week after announcing the arrests of four Philadelphia men on firearms charges following surveillance at the Morgantown Gun Show in Berks County, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro said Monday that the stateâs largest gun show promoter has agreed to ban the sale of do-it-yourself gun kits.
Shapiro called the ban of ghost gun kits imposed by Breinigsville-based firearms dealer Eagle Arms at all its gun shows a significant step in curtailing the growing threat to public safety from the privately assembled firearms.
âThis is a significant step,â Shapiro said, standing at a podium placarded with the words âUntrackableâ and âGhost Gunsâ and displaying one of the 80% ready-made receiver kits that were displayed by the hundreds at the Morgantown show.
