Investigators have increasingly linked ghost guns to crimes in recent years, and they have been the target of regulation efforts by state and federal officials.
According to the Biden administration, which has sought to regulate the weapons, some "buy build shoot" kits can be assembled into a working firearm in as little as half an hour with equipment at home.
Before 2022, ghost guns were not subject to the same regulations as other commercially purchased firearms, which helped fuel an explosion in their popularity.
Manufacturers market ghost guns for hobbyists, but in recent years, their suspected use in crimes has proliferated - with the number recovered by law enforcement increasing.
