PHILADELPHIA — Just days after a man wielding two"ghost guns," including an AR-15 rifle, shot seven people, five fatally, in a Philadelphia neighborhood, according to authorities, leaders of the city filed a lawsuit against two companies that manufacture parts for the untraceable firearms they say have been wreaking havoc on their streets.
“Defendants Polymer80 and JSD Supply ship their products to any address in Philadelphia without a required legal background check or any other efforts to verify buyers identity or age, as is required by Pennsylvania’s state law,” Philadelphia City Solicitor Diana Cortes said. Killed in Monday's attack, according to police, were 15-year-old Daujan Brown; 31-year-old Joseph Wamah, Jr.; 20-year-old Lashyd Merritt; 29-year-old Dymir Stanton; and 59-year-old Ralph Moralis. A 13-year-old boy and a 2-year-old boy were wounded by gunfire in the incident, and the toddler's 33-year-old mother and twin brother were injured by flying glass when the gunman fired at their vehicle, police said.
Similarly, JSD Supply Inc. describes itself on its website as a manufacturer of"premier gun parts and accessories."
