LAPD found 700 ‘ghost guns’ — now it is getting $5 million
“Ghost guns” seized by the Oakland Police Department are shown in April 2021. In 2020, over the course of numerous investigations, the Los Angeles Police Department recovered more than 700 “ghost guns” — weapons often having no serial numbers and built from components sold without background checks by Nevada-based company Polymer80, according to the Los Angeles city attorney’s office. In 2021, Los Angeles filed suit against Polymer80, alleging that the company was selling its kits without conducting background checks, a violation of the federal Gun Control Act. The company’s guns were the most common ghost guns recovered by the Los Angeles Police Department between 2020 and 2023, the city attorney’s office said. “But Polymer80’s core products — gun building kits that are quickly and easily assembled into operable weapons — nonetheless fall under the definition of ‘firearm’ under federal law,” the city attorney’s office wrote in its complaint.
