The 3D printed gun is typical of the two advantages and disadvantages of today’s increasingly developed technology. This is the danger that has the potential to upset the world’s weapons control platform.
3D printed guns made easy
In the future, 3D printers and 3D technology will contribute to changing human lives. Everything from everyday objects like dishes; Mobile phones to complex products such as aircraft parts can be mass produced at extremely low prices. But besides that, weapons were also easily crafted.
In May 2013, Defense Distributed launched the world’s first 3D-printed gun, the Liberator. Defense Distributed in late October 2014 announced it took orders for a 3D printing device called Ghost Gunner that allows buyers to easily print and assemble the AR-15 assault rifle equipment. The organization claims each Ghost Gunner machine costs no more than $ 1,500 and can complete the lower body of an AR-15 in up to an hour. The body under the gun consists of a ammunition box, a trigger and a handle.
In addition, gun designs are increasingly diverse and widely announced on the Internet, receiving many downloads.
3D printed guns can upset the weapon control platform
As of August 1, 2018, Americans are free to download blueprints on the internet to make guns at home with 3D printers, which could upset the background in weapons control.
Advocates for gun ownership and use have reached a landmark agreement with the US government that allows them to share 3D printable gun designs on the internet. The US authorities have not given any specific explanation.
Experts say there has been a lobbying intervention from powerful organizations such as the American Rifle Association and the Second Amendment Fund. Defense Distributed cheerfully declared on its website: “The era of online guns has begun.” At the same time they revealed a number of gun models that could soon be announced designs. Among these are Liberator pistols and AR-15 rifles, which are frequently used in the recent bloody shootings in the US.
It can be said that the ease of 3D printing and inadequate gun control are posing a threat to security in some countries.
