AG Shapiro, Gov. Wolf: 80% Receivers Are Firearms

Firearms are pictured during a press conference, outlining a new legal opinion from the Attorney General’s Office addressing the classification of “80% receivers,” which are most commonly used to make unserialized “ghost guns, inside the Governor's Reception Room at the State Capitol building on Monday, December 16, 2019. The opinion clarifies that, under the Pennsylvania Uniform Firearms Act, these receivers are properly classified as firearms in Pennsylvania. This opinion, in accordance with the Commonwealth Attorneys Act, was issued to tackle the growing use of untraceable “ghost guns” and to further assist law enforcement officials to protect people and save lives.
