Ghost Guns: A Looming Threat in Plain Sight The deadly shooting at Seattle's Bite of Seattle food festival over the weekend has left many shaken.
The recovery of a loaded "ghost gun" from one of the suspected shooters is a stark reminder that these unregulated firearms are becoming increasingly common and accessible.
Ghost guns can be assembled at home from parts purchased online, often without any background checks or serial numbers. This anonymity and ease of use contribute significantly to the rise in gun violence.
