Teenagers who can't legally buy guns shouldn't be able to get them online.

But because of companies like 80P Builder and Polymer80, more minors are
getting their hands on ghost guns—untraceable, self-assembled firearms.

We're committed to protecting our kids from gun violence. That's why we're
holding ghost gun kit manufacturers and sellers accountable in court.

making sure the gun industry can't get away with its killer business.

consequences. As unserialized firearms proliferate on the streets, teens
discover the ease of obtaining weapons they couldn't get from a licensed
dealer." By Tom Jackman and Emily Davies.

Right now, Everytown Law is representing two families who are suing 80P
Builder and Polymer80. The lawsuit alleges that these companies enabled a
teenager to buy a ghost gun with no background check or age verification,
and go on to kill two classmates with it. They've used reckless and
illegal business practices to make a fortune—and children have paid for it
with their lives.

Unfortunately, these families are far from the only victims of the gun
industry's greed. We found more than 50 incidents involving teens and
ghost guns since 2019:

* In Brooklyn Park, Minnesota, police arrested two teens with ghost guns
in December after authorities said one of them attempted to shoot
someone outside their car but instead killed their friend inside it.
* In New Rochelle, New York, a 16-year-old created a "ghost gun factory"
in his bedroom last year, police said, before killing another
16-year-old.
* In one week last year in Prince George's County, Maryland, a
13-year-old and a 16-year-old were arrested in their schools while
carrying ghost guns, authorities said.
* In Montgomery County, Maryland, a teen using a ghost gun shot and
seriously injured another student inside the boys' bathroom at
Magruder High School last year.

And with police recovering thousands of ghost guns every year in
communities across the country, the deadly toll of the gun industry's
business practices will only climb.

At Everytown for Gun Safety, we're committed to holding ghost gun
manufacturers and sellers accountable for their killer business. [ [link removed] ]Read
