New Jersey's Attorney General has filed a lawsuit against a Pennsylvania man accused of selling illegal, untraceable 'ghost guns' at gun shows.
According to the allegations, Jordan Vinroe continued the practice even after New Jersey previously sued one of his earlier businesses for similar violations.
Ghost guns are firearms assembled from kits that lack serial numbers, making them difficult to trace. The case highlights ongoing enforcement efforts against the illegal firearms trade operating across state lines.
Quick context
- What are ghost guns?
- Ghost guns are firearms assembled from kits and parts that lack serial numbers, making them untraceable. They can be made without background checks or registration, which is illegal in many jurisdictions including New Jersey.
- Why is this a legal concern?
- Untraceable firearms pose public safety risks and complicate law enforcement investigations. New Jersey law prohibits the manufacture and sale of such weapons, and the AG's office is actively prosecuting violators.
- What is the defendant accused of doing?
- Jordan Vinroe is alleged to have sold illegal firearm kits at gun shows, continuing the practice even after facing a previous lawsuit for the same conduct through an earlier business.
