Baltimore City has reached a settlement in its lawsuit, filed in 2022, against Nevada-based Polymer80, a leading manufacturer of ghost guns, which are firearms without serial numbers making them untraceable. Under the agreement, Polymer80 will cease selling these unassembled, untraceable firearms to Maryland residents. This settlement comes as a response to the increasing presence of ghost guns on Baltimore streets and their accessibility to minors. Additionally, the city of Baltimore will receive a $1.2 million payout from Polymer80. The settlement has been described as having the strictest injunctive terms of any comparable lawsuit, marking a significant step in Baltimore's efforts to combat the proliferation of ghost guns.
