A New York City resident has been slapped with a staggering 73 charges after allegedly building and selling "ghost guns" - untraceable firearms that have become a growing concern for law enforcement officials. According to prosecutors, the suspect, who has not been named, was involved in a large-scale operation to manufacture and distribute these illicit firearms, which are often assembled from parts purchased online and lack serial numbers, making them difficult to track. The charges, which include multiple counts of conspiracy, weapons possession, and trafficking, are part of a broader effort by the Manhattan District Attorney's office to crack down on the sale of ghost guns. As the city grapples with rising gun violence, authorities are increasingly turning their attention to these unregulated firearms, which have been linked to numerous crimes across the country.
