Ghost Guns & Emerging Firearm Threats

The growing availability of untraceable firearms - often referred to as “ghost guns” - is adding new complexity to the risk environment faced by journalists and broadcast teams worldwide. From privately assembled weapons and 3D-printed components to easily obtainable firearm kits sold online, these developments can make threats harder to anticipate, detect, or investigate. For media professionals working in politically sensitive reporting situations, crowded public settings, or high-visibility live productions, this evolving landscape requires increased awareness and preparation.


Securepoint helps media organizations understand emerging firearm risks through structured risk assessments, situational training, and access to experienced security partners. By supporting informed planning and practical protective measures, we help broadcasters safeguard personnel, maintain operational continuity, and protect critical infrastructure. Because as threat dynamics change, the safety of those reporting the truth must remain a constant priority.
