The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives released a major report that details how stolen guns and emerging technology like 'ghost guns' play a factor in gun violence in the U.S.
Along with the huge bump in gun sales during the COVID-19 pandemic, there has been a subsequent increase in unintentional shootings by children and gunfire on school grounds,
The number of suspected ghost guns recovered by law enforcement agencies and sent to the ATF for tracing and tracking"increased by 1,083% from 2017 to 2021 ." This indicates, for one thing, that these ghost guns are increasingly being used to commit crimes, the ATF concludes. The Trace, an outlet focused on covering guns and gun violence in the U.S., has been covering the rise of ghost guns for some time. These firearms come from buying pre-made parts and assembling the weapon at home and through 3D printers,There have been recent attempts to curtail the prevalence of these weapons. Last year, the ATF finalized a rule that would bring the regulation of ghost guns in line with traditional guns.
