Manhattan District Attorney Alvin L. Bragg, Jr., today called on Shenzhen Creality 3D Technology Co., Ltd., the manufacturer of one of the most popular 3D-printers available for individual consumers, to adopt additional security measures to deter the spread of 3D-printed guns and gun parts. In a letter to Creality, D.A. Bragg called on the company to install in its printers an available 3D-printing software program which detects the shapes of common gun parts and blocks their printing. D.A. Bragg plans to send similar letters to other leading consumer brands in the coming weeks.
The letter comes following yesterday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision upholding federal regulations requiring ghost gun parts to have serial numbers and compelling background checks for prospective buyers of ghost gun home-assembly kits. The Office filed an amicus brief in support of the federal regulations in July 2024.
D.A. Bragg also called on the company to remove online blueprints, also known as CAD files, from its cloud platform. The blueprints can be used to print firearms and gun parts without a background check. D.A. Bragg also called on Creality to ban the creation of illicit weapons in its company’s user agreement.
Creality printers have been seized by the D.A.’s Office and its law enforcement partners, including in recent cases, pursuant to search warrants.
“We are calling on companies that sell 3D-printers to work with us to stem the flow of dangerous weapons into our communities by implementing targeted, commonsense fixes. Too often, gun violence tragically takes innocent lives and tears at the fabric of our communities. Over the past several years, the number of illegal, 3D-printed firearms and ghost guns has increased significantly. We have an aggressive and holistic approach to combatting gun violence alongside our law enforcement partners but we cannot do it alone. We are hopeful that we can partner with these companies and make a meaningful impact on public safety,” said District Attorney Bragg.
Seems like Bragg either doesn’t know how any of this works or is just preening around in front of a bunch of other people who don’t know how any of this works.
absolutely lunacy!
Typical Lefty fool. He would stand there with his finger in the dike while the world falls apart around him. Of course, the fact that his area has a VERY high rate of criminal recidivism has NO meaning for him. That would be cruel to keep repeat killers in jail, now wouldn’t it?
Morons.
Now I’m going to print even more guns.
Yep… but Bragg is gonna go nuts when he realizes his stupid will not stop the signal. He has zero idea.
Please do and make them extra scary/assulty. I will continue to make my ghost ammo without their fees or registry…….now if I could only find some 375 Ruger brass.
Corrupt Manhattan DA Bragg must compete his sandpounding before anything else.
“common sense fixes.” ?
I’m not sure this idiot understands what ‘common sense’ means.
Tyrants gotta tyrant…
Back in the early 1970s, you could have purchased a full size Winchester lever action rifle plastic model. Sold in toy stores.
Now, in the 21st century I can’t afford a real machine gun. But I can afford to have a 3D printed copy of one made. And hang it on my wall.
You can mail order full size paper card models of rocket launchers. Rifles handguns and grenade paper models, are also available.
