“As police departments around the country report a surge in 3D-printed firearms turning up at crime scenes, gun safety [sic] advocates and law enforcement officials are warning that a new generation of untraceable weapons could soon eclipse the ‘ghost guns’ that have already flooded U.S. streets. At a summit in New York City on Thursday, the advocacy group Everytown for Gun Safety ]sic] will bring together policymakers, academics, 3D-printing industry leaders and law enforcement officials to confront the growing challenge. They fear that as the printers become cheaper and more sophisticated — and blueprints for gun parts spread rapidly online — the U.S. could be on the brink of another wave of unregulated, homemade weapons that evade serial-number tracking and background checks.” [editor’s note: If they’re right, that’s great news! – TLK] (10/16/25)
