In a recent government meeting, Assemblymember expressed pride in sponsoring Assembly Bill 2842, aimed at addressing the issue of gun buybacks and the resale of gun parts. The bill seeks to prevent third-party contractors, engaged by law enforcement agencies during buyback programs, from reselling any components of the firearms collected.

The assemblymember highlighted a concerning trend where parts of guns that were believed to be permanently removed from circulation are being sold, leading to the creation of \"ghost guns\"—firearms that can be assembled using 3D-printed components. The assemblymember emphasized the significant dangers posed by these untraceable weapons, underscoring the need for legislative action to combat this growing issue.

The discussion reflects a broader commitment among lawmakers to enhance gun safety and address the challenges posed by evolving technologies in firearm manufacturing. The assemblymember concluded by expressing gratitude for the support from colleagues and the urgency of moving forward with the proposed legislation.
