Contributing sentiments towards policy:
43% : Proponents of stricter gun laws have been pushing for action on ghost guns to address the problem before it reaches epidemic proportions.42% : The key selling point for many buyers was that ghost guns were not required to have serial numbers, the critical piece of information that law enforcement agencies use to trace the gun from the manufacturer to the gun dealer to the original buyer.
41% : The Supreme Court has revived, at least for now, the Biden administration's regulation of "ghost guns," drawing a spotlight to the kits that can be assembled into homemade firearms and the new front in the fight over gun control that they have opened up.
41% : Law enforcement officials in the state said ghost guns accounted for 25 to 50 percent of firearms recovered at crime scenes in an 18-month period from 2020 to 2021, and the vast majority of suspects caught with them were legally prohibited from having guns.
41% : In 2021, the Justice Department reported that law enforcement agencies had recovered 19,300 homemade guns, about five times the number confiscated or found at crime scenes in 2018.
