Polymer80 Settles with Baltimore, Halts Ghost Gun Sales in Maryland

The $1.2 million agreement marks a significant step in the fight against untraceable firearms, as cities nationwide push for stricter regulations.

Polymer80, a leading manufacturer of ghost gun parts, agrees to stop selling its products in Maryland and to Maryland residents in neighboring states, following a $1.2 million settlement with Baltimore.
The settlement also requires Polymer80 to cease all advertising and customer support in Maryland, and to provide quarterly reports documenting sales in Maryland and surrounding states.
Baltimore officials highlight the settlement as a significant victory in the fight against gun violence, noting that ghost guns have become increasingly prevalent on city streets.
The Biden administration's 2022 rule mandating serial numbers and background checks for ghost gun kits remains in effect, despite legal challenges.
Other cities, including Washington, D.C., and Los Angeles, have also reached settlements with Polymer80, reflecting a growing push against the proliferation of ghost guns.
