Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg warns New York behind the curve' in efforts to stop ghost guns from being produced and used in crime | amNewYork
"Bragg stated, 'If you were going to buy or sell an illegal gun, why would you go and do it another way? This is how you would move illegal guns. It's the quickest, safest way from law enforcement detection.'"
"Bragg warned, 'We're already behind the curve, but the public safety implications are very significant.' He emphasized the need for Albany to act swiftly to prevent further proliferation of ghost guns."
"Governor Kathy Hochul announced plans to codify and expand laws against ghost guns, including establishing criminal penalties for their manufacturing and sale."
"Bragg noted that just a few years ago, ghost guns were unreliable and dangerous, but advancements have made it possible to print entire working firearms."
Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg called for immediate action on ghost gun prevention in New York's state budget. He warned that the proliferation of 3D-printed, nearly untraceable weapons poses significant public safety risks. Bragg emphasized that these guns provide an easy means for criminals, including those prohibited from owning firearms, to acquire lethal weapons. He expressed concern over the slow progress in legislative negotiations, highlighting the urgency of implementing stricter laws against the manufacturing and sale of ghost guns.
