Ghost gun parts maker to stop selling in Maryland, pay $1.2 million

The largest maker of “ghost gun” parts — the gun frames and receivers that have no serial numbers and cannot be traced when used in a crime — agreed Wednesday to stop selling their products in Maryland and pay $1.2 million to settle a lawsuit filed in 2022 by the city of Baltimore. Baltimore joins D.C. and Los Angeles as cities which have successfully used lawsuits to keep ghost guns off their streets, and Wednesday’s settlement also requires the manufacturer to file regular reports documenting its compliance.
