A leading manufacturer of ghost guns has agreed to stop selling its untraceable, unassembled firearms to Maryland residents under a settlement agreement announced Wednesday by the city of Baltimore.
City leaders sued the company, Nevada-based Polymer80, two years ago “in response to the rapid escalation of ghost guns appearing on Baltimore streets and in the hands of minors,” according to the mayor’s office. Officials said the settlement grants the city all measures of relief requested in the lawsuit, including $1.2 million in damages.
“Nine out of ten homicides in Baltimore City are committed with guns,” Mayor Brandon Scott said in a statement. “This settlement — and the statement it sends about the harmful impact of these ghost guns — is a critical victory for the effort to confront gun violence in our communities.”

No, they’re legally not guns or firearms, that’s the whole point. If you don’t like it, take it up with the ATF.

With guns in general, or with Polymer80 or similar products? I’m guessing he’s intentionally mixing the two to make it sound scarier than it is.
This whole thing is meant to be scary and make you think they’re doing something, while they’re not addressing the socioeconomic conditions that drive crime in the first place. It’s a distraction.
I can’t believe Brandon Scott is actually doing something. Edit: I’m also from Baltimore. From everything he’s ever said, how many times have they actually happened?
