A Nevada-based gun part manufacturer settled a lawsuit with the city of Baltimore, agreeing to stop all sales of 'ghost gun' kits and parts in Maryland.
A major manufacturer of ghost guns agreed, as part of a settlement with the city of Baltimore, to stop selling its untraceable firearms to residents of Maryland. Baltimore Mayor Brandon M. Scott announced on Wednesday that the city had reached a settlement in a lawsuit brought against Nevada-based Polymer80, which makes so-called "ghost gun" kits in the U.S.
The gun part manufacturer will also be permanently prohibited from advertising in Maryland or selling ghost guns to state residents. Additionally, firearms dealers in neighboring states that sell Polymer80 products are not permitted to sell ghost guns to Maryland, and must cease all customer support to Maryland while providing quarterly reports to Baltimore, showing every sale of ghost guns to neighboring states.
We must hold everyone who has a hand in this violence accountable, from those who choose to pull the trigger, all the way up to the gun dealers and manufacturers responsible for the flow of guns into our city," Scott said. "This settlement – and the statement it sends about the harmful impact of these ghost guns – is a critical victory for the effort to confront gun violence in our communities.
The case against Hanover Armory was not part of the settlement and is expected to go to trial in October 2024. City officials said police seized 462 ghost guns in 2023, and so far this year, the Baltimore Police Department has seized 43 ghost guns, or 30% more than this time last year.
