This tragedy sadly wasn’t the first school shooting, and unfortunately, it won’t be the last. However, it was the first school shooting to involve a ghost gun.

Ghost guns are sold as kits online to be assembled at home. Because certain parts are unfinished, they aren’t classified as real firearms. This means that they don’t require a serial number, and are untraceable. And yet, despite not being classified as guns, a ghost gun can be assembled into a fully functioning gun in under and hour.  Anyone can get their hands on them, and they don’t require background checks.

Ghost guns are showing up in more gun violence cases by the day, and the longer this problem remains unaddressed, the worse the situation will get. But we’re fighting back. H.R. 1454 will get ghost guns recognized as real guns, and we hope we have your support on it. If not, we’ll continue fighting regardless.

If you’re looking to get involved, please feel free to send us an ask, DM, or visit everytown.org to learn more. Until next time, stay Saugus Strong.

Biden is set to issue an executive order requiring background checks for ‘ghost gun’ buyers and will nominate a gun control advocate to head the ATF
