San Diego City Council passes ordinance banning ghost gun kit sales
The proposal, called the E.N.U.F (Eliminate Non-Serialized Untraceable Firearm) Ordinance, will "prohibit the possession, purchase, sale, receipt, and transportation of non-serialized, unfinished frames and unfinished receivers, and non-serialized firearms within the City of San Diego." It was introduced last month by councilmember Marni Von Wilpert.
In a statement following the vote, Von Wilpert said, "The spread of untraceable ‘ghost guns’ is fueling gun violence in our city and today’s vote will help keep firearms out of the hands of people who pose danger to our communities—including violent criminals, domestic abusers, individuals suffering from mental illness, and terrorists."
Cate, who voted "no," said during the meeting, "this law does nothing to prevent mass shootings. This law does nothing to hold criminals accountable. This law does nothing to make us safer."
