As alleged, Fareed Dabidah built dozens of ghost guns-some using 3D printing-at his apartment in the Bronx. He allegedly converted many of these ghost guns into fully automatic weapons and had the means to convert many more. Machinegun conversion devices, like the 39 the defendant possessed, are particularly dangerous accessories that turn ordinary firearms into fully automatic weapons. Removing these extraordinarily dangerous devices from our streets is an important law enforcement goal.
NYPD investigators' meticulous work in this case underscores our efforts to eradicate gun violence by stopping homemade, untraceable ghost guns and other illegal firearms from ever reaching New York City streets. I thank our federal colleagues for their partnership and their continued dedication to our shared public safety mission.
