The number of suspected 'ghost guns' recovered and traced by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives more than doubled from 2021 to 2022, according to a recently-released report.
CLEVELAND — The number of suspected ghost guns recovered and traced by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosives more than doubled from 2021 to 2022, according to a recently-released report.
According to the ATF, it becomes a problem when criminals or a person prohibited from owning a gun gets their hands on one, and the ATF said it’s happening more now than ever before. “They’re going to use them in a crime because they don’t believe that we can find out who supplied these individuals with firearms. Which again, there are different techniques and investigations that we can get there,” said ATF Special Agent Cory Miles.
“When they get into the wrong hands, yes, that’s what we’re trying to prohibit — also trafficking firearms too. If someone’s out there and they’re buying lots of these firearms and they’re making them themselves and now they’re selling to people without a background check," Miles said.
