SAN DIEGO
In response to the proliferation of “ghost guns,” the San Diego City Council this week approved a ban on the sale and possession of gun frames and firearms that lack a serial number.
“Today we are here to take action to combat the proliferation of non-serialized, nontraceable ghost guns because we have had enough,” Councilmember Marni von Wilpert, who introduced the ordinance, said at Civic Center Plaza before the council meeting. She was joined by advocates of gun violence prevention, who urged the City Council to approve the measure.
In recent years, the number of ghost guns San Diego police have confiscated has skyrocketed. By July 28, police had recovered 255 ghost guns, more than the 211 ghost guns seized all of last year.
