They are unstoppable
A worldwide network of firearms addicts is sharing the documents required to make 3D-print guns in American – and they seem to be unstoppable. They have no trademarks, no headquarters, and no real commander. It seems like no one can possibly take any action to prevent them from spreading 3D-print guns files, according to a recently story from Wired that features a talk with a member of the network.
“If they [the government] were to come after me, they’d first have to find my identity,” said to Wired by an individual that called himself Ivan the Troll. “I’m one of many, many like-minded individuals who’re doing this sort of work.”
The High Demand For Firearms
Clearly, firearms are not prohibited and are legal in the United States. The fact that now citizens are even able to get around the existing gun laws is the problem with 3D-printed firearms scenario.
In fact, any person who has the right access to an acceptable 3D printer can go to the internet, get a free CAD file, and print out the material required to make a workable gun – and those people include individuals that were banned from having their own firearms for appropriate reasons.
Drawing Fire
Apparently, Ivan the Troll doesn’t realize the problem in this situation, and he even tells Wired that many individuals in all over the world are making their own 3D-printed firearms at the moment, and repeatedly saying that there will be no reasonable action that could force them to stop.
“I believe it is inherently important that… you should be able to own a gun,” he insisted. “You should be able to own the same legal force that the cops are using to control you.”
