Philadelphia Settles Lawsuit with Ghost Gun Manufacturers

The city secures a pivotal legal agreement to cease the sale of ghost gun parts, aiming to curb rampant gun violence.

Philadelphia reaches a settlement with Polymer80 and JSD Supply, halting the sale of ghost gun parts in the city and surrounding counties.
The agreement includes a $1.3 million payment from the manufacturers to fund gun violence prevention efforts over four years.
Ghost guns, often untraceable and assembled at home, have been linked to a significant rise in shootings in recent years.
The settlement is seen as a critical step in addressing the public health and safety threat posed by these unregulated firearms.
Legal actions similar to Philadelphia’s have been taken in other regions, reflecting a growing national concern over ghost guns.
