Kitchen table stuff’: In ongoing ghost gun war, Manhattan DA, pols and NYPD push new legislation combating 3D-printed weapons

Using a 3D printer that can be purchased for as little as $200, the underground firearm community can now illegally press gun parts, including lower receivers, magazines, and even silencers, making the iron pipeline a non-factor in the ongoing war on guns. The blueprints to artificially assemble these deadly weapons can be stored on tiny SD cards or flash drives and cultivated by online enthusiasts to aid one another in the refinement of the technology that allows anyone to make killing devices. Nilan also added that the only way to make these guns legal is to take the weapons to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives and have them officially serialized. However, Nilan says she has not had a report of a single person doing this.
“This is kitchen table stuff. You can do this at your kitchen table and the people who want to know about it, there’s an entire underground element that knows,” District Attorney Bragg said. “We see, in discussion groups, the sort of discussion of how to build these guns in the CAD files, a very significant and scary chatter with extreme views and violence. So, pairing those two rising, hate crimes and this technology is scary.
