Ghost guns can be purchased online and come in a kit. They can be assembled in just 15 minutes and don't even have a serial number.
Democrat wants to make the transfer, purchase, manufacturing, importation and possession of ghost guns all illegal. But first, law enforcement has to find those building and possessing the guns.
"But when we’re talking about ghost guns, it's very hard to track and to trace where these things are being printed, where the kits are coming from, and that's part of the reason that people are embracing them, right? This is why we need this legislation to at least be able to figure out what's going on. These things fly completely under the radar, which makes things much more dangerous for all of us," Buckner said.
State Rep. Buckner says this legislation was introduced on Friday and now he's working to get it to committee. It will of course need 60 votes to make it out of the House and to the Senate.Cook County Sheriff Tom Dart says he supports the legislation and that "time is of the essence."
