This Student Pleaded Guilty For Making A Lethal 3D-Printing Gun

According to the report published by Agence France-Presse, an English student was arrested by police for making guns with a 3D printer in London. That 26-year-old student is Tendai Muswere. He said the gun was built for a university film project at London South Bank University. However, he does not have any license to own it. He pleaded guilty at Southwark crown court on Wednesday to build a 3D-printing gun.

Detective Sergeant Jonathan Roberts, head of this investigation said:

Police said Tendai's 3D handgun could be lethalBack in May, Wired also published an article about a network of gun enthusiasts all over the world sharing methods and files on how to build guns with 3D printers via the internet. However, according to the Metropolitan police, not all parts of the gun can be 3D printed with a printer. Creating a gun is not simply about downloading plans and printing them from a 3D printer.

London police initially had the right to search Muswere's houses in October 2017. Muswere not only made and printed 3D parts that made the 3D gun able to fire deadly shots but also planted marijuana plants, which is currently still illegal in England. Muswere said he did not know the 3D gun he had printed could fire and later refused to say what his film project was about.
