Ghost Guns
Manage episode 295529206 series 2933352
A mass shooting in downtown San Diego resulted in the death of a valet driver and injured 4 others. Authorities reported that the suspect used a “ghost gun.”
Laurie discusses an article in the San Diego Union Tribune by Teri Figueroa about the rise of ghost guns seized by the San Diego Police Department (SDPD). 1 out of 5 guns seized by SDPD are ghost guns.
Sgt. Albert Carrillo with the San Diego Sheriff's Department, San Marcos Station, joins the podcast to discuss this dangerous trend and how his unit is seeing more and more gang members armed with ghost guns.
The Justice Department’s proposed rules will impose restrictions on ghost guns, such as requiring retailers to run background checks before selling kits that allow someone to readily make a gun at home, and forcing manufacturers to include a serial number on a firearm’s frame or receiver.
You can report someone with an illegal firearm to the San Diego Sheriff's Department by calling 858-565-5200. You can also report anonymously to your local Crime Stoppers. San Diego Crime Stoppers can be reached at 1-888-580-8477 or sdcrimestoppers.org.
Each episode we examine the laws on the books; 3 are real and 1 is fake. Can you guess which law is the fake?
- In Texas, it is unlawful to engage in celebratory gun fire unless blanks are used.
- In Wyoming, it is unlawful to shoot fish.
- In Massachusetts, it is unlawful for a shooting club to allow members to shoot at targets with human silhouettes.
- In California, gun sales are prohibited at the Del Mar Fair Grounds in San Diego, CA.
