联合医疗首席执行官Brian Thompson 很可能死于"鬼枪" 一种几乎无法追踪的自制武器 UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson was likely killed with a "ghost gun," a nearly untraceable homemade firearm. 这些枪在家中从没有序列号或背景调查的网上部件组装而成,在犯罪分子中日益受欢迎。 These guns, assembled at home from online parts without serial numbers or background checks, have become increasingly popular among criminals. 2022年,拜登行政当局实行限制,要求对鬼枪装备箱进行序列号和背景调查,但这些规则面临法律挑战。 In 2022, the Biden administration introduced restrictions requiring serial numbers and background checks for ghost gun kits, but these rules face legal challenges. 执法部门收缴的鬼枪数量从2016年的1 758支增至2021年的近20 000支。 The number of ghost guns recovered by law enforcement has risen from 1,758 in 2016 to nearly 20,000 in 2021.
