US EditionNYC Seizes 3,000 Illegal Guns This Year, Flags Surge in 3D-Printed Ghost Arms
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, JUL 27 – NYPD reported a 54% drop in shootings and a 36% decline in homicides after seizing 3,000 firearms including untraceable 3D-printed guns in 2025.
- Mayor Eric Adams and Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch revealed that law enforcement removed three thousand unlawful firearms from the streets of New York City in 2025.
- This gun removal effort follows concerns about rising ghost guns, which are untraceable firearms assembled from 3D-printed components.
- The NYPD conducted 48 gang takedowns this year, arresting 347 members, contributing to the city's overall crime decline including a 6% drop in June.
- Tisch emphasized that removing 3,000 firearms from the streets has clearly improved public safety, and positive outcomes are already noticeable.
- These initiatives have contributed to New York City experiencing its fewest shooting victims in any half-year period on record and matching the historic low for shooting incidents in early 2025.
