California law enforcement seized 54 so-called ghost guns last year from people who can’t legally own firearms, a 38% jump in the number of the hard-to-trace weapons seized since 2021
FILE - Firearms, seized from a multiagency operation targeting the Westside Verdugo criminal street gang, are displayed during a press conference at the San Bernardino Police Station, on Dec. 9, 2021, in San Bernardino, Calif. Law enforcement seized nearly 1,500 guns statewide in 2022 through an only-in-California program called the Armed and Prohibited Persons System, known as APPS. California Attorney General Rob Bonta announced last year's results of the program on Monday, April 3, 2023.
Generally, firearms manufactured by licensed companies are required to have serial numbers that allow officials to trace the gun back to the manufacturer, the firearms dealer and original purchaser. That's how the registry can find the people who are prohibited from having guns, as well as the weapons linked to them., however, are made of parts and are then assembled together — without the serial numbers that can be used to follow the gun's path.
Bonta has ordered the state’s Department of Justice to focus more on ghost gun investigations in general after years of increased illegal activity.
