Law enforcement officials and firearms experts testified on gun violence prevention efforts before the Senate Judiciary Subcommittee on the Constitution. The hearing focused primarily on the issue of “ghost guns” which are homemade guns that lack serial numbers. On May 7, 2021, the Justice Department released a proposed rule that would update the definition of a firearm and seeks to close the “ghost gun” regulatory loophole. Among the witnesses testifying were Baltimore Police Commissioner Michael Harrison, Pennsylvania Attorney General Josh Shapiro (D) and firearms expert Richard Vasquez. close
