James has recently warned that ghost guns are fueling a “gun violence epidemic” and sees buybacks as part of the solution, as do police forces in Syracuse and elsewhere. The New York attorney general’s office has been hosting buybacks since 2013. President Joe Biden announced in April changes to the definition of a firearm under federal law to include unfinished parts, which would include those made by 3D printers. The rule change by James comes as state and federal officials attempt to deal with the proliferation of ghost guns. Others are relinquished by people who aren't allowed to own weapons or are turning in guns that have been illegally altered. Some firearms turned in to those programs are legally owned. Buybacks are a popular way for government officials to try to get guns off the streets, typically with a promise of no questions asked, and amnesty for someone who turns in an illegal weapon.
