On October 9, a traffic stop occurred near an Otay Mesa county jail, leading to the arrest of 21-year-old Isaiah Cisneros.
During the stop, officers found an unserialized "ghost gun" in Cisneros' possession. He now faces multiple charges, as per the San Diego Sheriff's Department.
Ghost guns, devoid of identifying serial numbers, are a concern due to the ease with which they circulate within society. This case and others like it display the new reality that lawmakers are grappling with; the continued evolution of firearm technology and outdated gun control legislation.
The rise of 3D printing and distribution of self-assembled weapons is proving problematic for the current legislation in place, which primarily governs traditional firearms.
