With gun crimes soaring and gun arrests declining, the NYPD says the crisis is being magnified by a huge increase in the number of ghost guns -- untraceable guns made with 3D printers. MKramerTV reports.
A 30-year-old Brooklyn man is the latest to be arrested for making guns in the comfort of his home, but police officials trying to stem the tide of bloodshed in the Big Apple say that instead of shutting down the iron pipeline they have to shut down the plastic pipeline as well,"Today, people can sit at home in their living room, log on to their computer, access a piece of software, send a signal to their printer, and print out a machine gun that can kill people.
"In New York City in 2019, we recovered 47 ghost guns. In 2020, we recovered 150 ghost guns. In 2021, that number jumped up to 375. And so far in 2022, we have 85 compared to 20 last year. That's a 325% increase of seizures of ghost guns since last year," NYPD Chief of Intelligence Tom Galati said.This comes as the NYPD's latest crime stats how difficult gun crimes are to stop.
The untraceable ghost guns make it more difficult to arrest people because there are no records of where they were manufactured and who bought them.
