SCHUMER REVEALS: KEY FED PROVISION THAT BANS UNDETECTABLE GHOST GUNS IS SET TO EXPIRE IN JUST ONE MONTH; IN ALBANY, SENATOR LAUNCHES PUSH TO KEEP FULLY PLASTIC UNDETECTABLE FIREARMS OFF OUR STREETS TO KEEP CAPITAL REGION AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA SAFE

Statement

"It's commonsense that a fully-plastic undetectable "ghost' gun that can slip through a metal detector, with no one the wiser, should be illegal. Now however, for the first time in a decade, the bipartisan Undetectable Firearms Act that helps keep these undetectable ghost guns out of the market could expire in just one month. The thought of these weapons, which put the safety of our law enforcement officers and communities across America at risk, becoming legal has everyone nervous -- including our local law enforcement here in the Capital Region who could see a surge of these undetectable guns if they are made legal, which would increase security risks at places like sports events and concert venues. This is a scary future to imagine -- We already saw that TSA found with metal detectors nearly 7,000 firearms at airports last year -- an all-time high. That is why I am launching our push to extend this commonsense bipartisan measure to keep these undetectable, dangerous ghost guns illegal."
