WEST HAVEN, Conn. (WTNH) — Easy-to-purchase, and almost impossible to track, ghost guns have become an outlet for criminals to skirt around Connecticut's robust firearm registration and background check laws. 'All you need is a drill, it's really that simple,' said Connecticut Rep. Steve Stafstrom (D-Bridgeport), the chair of the House Judiciary Committee. It was an issue he said he wanted to take up last legislative session, but that lawmakers ran out of time. 'Ghost guns' don't have serial numbers, are untraceable and can be purchased online to be assembled at home.
