Trump considering sales of guns made by 3D Printers

President Donald Trump says he is studying whether guns made by a three-dimensional (3-D) printer should be sold in the United States. Trump wrote on Twitter the idea “doesn’t seem to make much sense!” He added that he spoke to the National Rifle Association (NRA) about the issue. The NRA is the largest American organization representing the interests of gun owners.

Trump’s comments come as eight states and the District of Columbia are taking legal action against his administration for permitting the release of the gun-printing plans. They say anyone following those step-by-step directions could use 3-D printer technology to create a gun out of plastic. State attorneys general are the state officials who can bring cases against the federal government.

Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson is leading the case against the Trump administration. He said the gun-printing plans are a danger to the public.

“These downloadable guns are unregistered and very difficult to detect, even with metal detectors, and will be available to anyone regardless of age, mental health or criminal history,” he said.

The eight states and the District of Columbia argue that permitting people to make their own guns violates state controls over weapons. Officials say that 1,000 people have already downloaded the directions for plastic guns.
