A Manhattan ex-con has been indicted after a massive cache of ghost guns — including an AR-15 style rifle — and other gun parts were found inside his apartment, according to the district attorney
Jose Rivera faces a 32-count indictment for a litany of charges, including weapon possession and child endangerment. Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said that the 47-year-old Rivera bought at least 55 ghost gun parts worth more than $7,000.
That includes the"Ghost Gunner 3," which is an automated machine the DA said can manufacture ghost guns with just the touch of a button. Rivera, who has a prior felony conviction on his record and was not allowed to possess any firearms whatsoever, purchased the dozens of components between Oct. 2016 and May 2022, the DA said in a release Tuesday. Many of the purchases were shipped to Pennsylvania, given that they are illegal under New York law.
