The City of Philadelphia has filed a lawsuit against two manufacturers for the illegal distribution of ghost gun kits that have been used in incidents like the recent mass shooting that left five dead.
Ghost guns are untraceable firearms that are privately manufactured and able to be assembled at home.
Through the lawsuit, the city is seeking to stop the distributors from continuing their business, in addition to payment for damages and harm caused by those using ghost guns. The sale of ghost guns by Polymer80 and JSD Supply are not properly recorded as required by law, so it is hard for law enforcement to track how many ghost guns are on the streets.
Police do not know what company manufactured the components found in the mass shooting in Kingsessing.
