Under L.A. city settlement, gunmaker Polymer80 must do background checks, put serial numbers on its guns, statewide.
The nation’s largest manufacturer ofkits must pay millions of dollars in penalties and must conduct customer background checks and include serial numbers on its products sold throughout California, under a settlement won by the Los Angeles City Attorney’s Office.
Under the settlement, Polymer80 can no longer sell ghost gun kits in California unless it includes serial numbers on its products and conducts background checks as required under federal law. Its dealers and distributors also are prohibited from selling unserialized gun kits in California, and the company can no longer provide customer support to individuals in the state.
“This settlement holds Polymer80 and its founders accountable, keeps guns out of the hands of prohibited people, makes L.A. neighborhoods safer and will help law enforcement do their jobs,” Feldstein Soto said in a statement. “More than 16,000 people have been killed byso far in 2023. This is an important step toward preventing unnecessary deaths, especially as Congress repeatedly fails to take action.
