NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN HAILS INCLUSION OF 'GHOST GUNS' BILL IN MASSIVE SPENDING PACKAGE
ew York Congressman Max Rose is hailing the inclusion of his "ghost gun" bill in a compromise version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would direct the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to conduct an annual threat assessment of these untraceable, DIY firearms.

"Unregistered, untraceable ghost guns have been used by terrorists seeking to inflict mass casualties, including just this year in California and Germany," Rose, a Democrat representing Staten Island and South Brooklyn, told Newsweek in a written statement. "They are a real and growing threat to our public safety, causing incredible challenges to the already hard work of our law enforcement."

The latest iteration of the NDAA, which lawmakers in the House of Representatives and Senate have been negotiating over for months, passed the House early Wednesday evening. It authorizes the Defense Department's budget for fiscal year 2020.
