The guns are easy to assemble using 3-D printing technology
New Jersey’s watchdog agency is calling for stronger laws to crack down on “ghost guns,” illegal weapons made from kits. Ghost guns are easy to assemble using 3-D printing technology and are untraceable by law enforcement because they lack serial numbers. The State Commission of Investigation released a report Tuesday urging lawmakers to update and strengthen gun control laws.
