Description

Ghost guns seem to be in the news everywhere these days, but what does that term really describe? This presentation takes a detailed look at "ghost guns", "privately manufactured firearms" (PMF's), and their impact on violent crime. We'll look at the intersection of state laws, the U.S. Constitution and the rule making authority of the federal government in dealing with this issue. Finally, we'll discuss tools and strategies to successfully investigate and prosecute the unlawful possession and use of firearms by violent offenders.
