7 men have been arrested and dozens of ghost guns seized in an ATF bust of an Inland Empire trafficking operation.
Among those arrested in Riverside and San Bernardino counties was a 27-year-old man who was in possession of 14 firearms. The majority of the weapons were ghost guns, privately-made firearms without serial numbers, officials said.
A 22-year-old suspect allegedly possessed handguns capable of firing automatically, the Times said. At least two had a drop-switch conversion device that was designed for the purpose of converting a Glock-type pistol into a fully automatic gun, according to court records. Last week President Joe Biden announced plans to finalize new federal regulations to crack down on ghost guns, which are increasingly cropping up in violent crimes nationwide.© 2022 The Associated Press.
