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. The lawsuit was in the works prior to Monday's Fourth of July weekend rampage, according to city officials, who say they hope the litigation will help stem the flood of homemade firearms that are increasingly used to kill and maim in Philadelphia and in cities across the nation. "In the last four years, the use of ghost guns have exploded all across America," Philadelphia Mayor Jim Kenney said at a Wednesday evening news conference to announce the lawsuit.
