A 14-year-old boy allegedly killed Newark Detective Joseph Azcona using a ghost gun equipped with a conversion device that turned it into a machine gun. These devices are illegal and inexpensive, transforming semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones. Azcona was ambushed while in his patrol car, leading to his tragic death. His partner was also shot but survived. Azcona's commitment to serving the Newark community was highlighted in a letter he wrote about his aspiration to help others, showcased during his funeral.
"Individuals can make their own firearm in their own home via readily available kits. The process is not difficult."
"Kits to transform semi-automatic weapons to fully automatic ones can cost just $20."
"To help people in the city of Newark, especially those who cannot help themselves... The day after I graduate from the police academy will be my best day."
"Machine gun conversion devices enable a weapon to fire multiple rounds with a single squeeze of the trigger, the law enforcement source said."
