Polymer80 Agrees to Cease Ghost Gun Sales in Maryland Following Baltimore Settlement

A prominent manufacturer of ghost guns, Polymer80, has agreed to cease selling its untraceable, unassembled firearms to Maryland residents following a settlement agreement announced by the city of Baltimore on Wednesday. The city had filed a lawsuit against the Nevada-based company two years ago, citing concerns over the proliferation of ghost guns on Baltimore streets, particularly among minors.

Under the terms of the settlement, which fulfills all measures of relief requested in the lawsuit, including $1.2 million in damages, Polymer80 will discontinue sales to Maryland residents.

Mayor Brandon Scott emphasized the significance of the settlement in addressing gun violence, stating, “Nine out of ten homicides in Baltimore City are committed with guns. This settlement — and the statement it sends about the harmful impact of these ghost guns — is a critical victory for the effort to confront gun violence in our communities.”
