SCHUMER REVEALS: KEY FED PROVISION THAT BANS UNDETECTABLE GHOST GUNS IS SET TO EXPIRE IN LESS THAN ONE MONTH; IN SYRACUSE, SENATOR LAUNCHES PUSH TO KEEP FULLY PLASTIC UNDETECTABLE FIREARMS OFF OUR STREETS TO KEEP CENTRAL NY AND COMMUNITIES ACROSS AMERICA SAFE

Statement

“Fully-plastic, undetectable guns —which slip through metal detectors with no one the wiser — should be illegal. But, 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 a few weeks. This is sounding the alarm and making everyone from law enforcement, the first line of defense in protecting communities from these weapons, to sports stadiums that house hundreds of thousands nervous. If the legislation lapses, we could see a surge of these undetectable guns, which would increase security risks at places with large crowds, like concerts and football games. This is a scary new reality to imagine – We already saw that TSA—with metal detectors—found nearly 7,000 firearms at airports last year – an all-time high.That is why I am launching my push to extend this commonsense, bipartisan measure to keep these undetectable, dangerous ghost guns illegal.”
