NYC ghost gun builder arrested after sharing photo of 7-year-old son wielding firearms: prosecutors

A New York City man has been arrested for manufacturing and possessing more than a dozen ghost guns after he shared an image of his 7-year-old son wielding two of the firearms, prosecutors say. 

Cory Davis, 41, is now facing multiple charges after New York City police officers recovered 14 of the privately assembled weapons in two of his apartments, including "10 semi-automatic pistols and two assault weapon-style pistols," according to the Manhattan District Attorney’s Office. 

"The allegations make it evident that by manufacturing these weapons, Davis put not only the public, but a child in serious peril," District Attorney Alvin Bragg said in a statement. "Using one’s child as a prop to showcase homemade, illegal weapons is inexcusable and extremely dangerous. The proliferation of ghost guns in our city cannot continue."
