Ghost guns have struck fear into the hearts of many across the nation, and with good reason. Virtually untraceable and almost laughably easy to make, ghost guns have been the subject of campaign promises and district attorneys’ pet projects, and the source of many a lawsuit. Last August, Polymer80, one of the nation’s largest producers of ghost gun kits, shut down. According to the company’s CEO, Polymer80 was “getting sued left and right,” and appears to have buckled under the weight of litigation costs. But is this the end? The CEO reportedly told the press that Polymer80 would return “in some way shape or form.” Not to detract from the value and impact of these settlements, we do still face the question: has Polymer80 been vanquished? Or is it a hydra, and we’re just waiting for the remaining two heads to grow back after a quiet infusion of cash and comprehensive self-reinvention?
