San Diego nets first conviction under new ghost guns ordinance [Breaking]

San Diego recently netted its first conviction under the city’s ordinance barring anyone from having ghost guns, the City Attorney’s Office said Friday.

Ghosts guns are do-it-yourself firearms assembled by hand from parts that often come in prepackaged kits. Because the parts — like an unfinished gun frame — are not classified as guns, they have no serial numbers. Anyone can legally buy the parts. “The City’s novel ghost gun ordinance is an effective tool for removing untraceable firearms from the hands of criminals,” City Attorney Mara Elliott said.
