New Legislation Would Ban Ghost Guns in Maryland
Marylands attorney general introduced new legislation Thursday targeting ghost guns.
Attorney General Brian Frosh detailed legislation that would first ban the sale, receipt and transfer of unfinished parts used to make ghost guns before an outright ban on ghost guns would be put in place in January 2023.
Ghost guns dont have serial numbers, making them untraceable, and their parts can be bought online and assembled at home.
Del. Lesley Lopez (D-Montgomery County) said it only took a few clicks to get her hands on an untraceable part for an assault rifle.
It didnt ask for my legal name, she said. The website didnt ask if I was a prohibited person in any way. It didnt ask for a statement to confirm that. It just asked for my credit card information and where to ship it.
