California law enforcement confiscated 54 “ghost guns” last year from people who can’t legally own firearms, a 38 percent jump in the number of the hard-to-trace weapons seized since 2021 under a state program, officials said Monday.
The ghost guns—privately made firearms without a serial number—were part of nearly 1,500 guns taken statewide last year through an only-in-California program called the Armed and Prohibited Persons System (APPS).
