3D Printed Guns Targeted by Homeland Security

3D Printed Guns Targeted by Homeland Security: On May 21, the Department of Homeland Security circulated a bulletin among federal and state law enforcement agencies warning that guns created on three-dimensional (3D) printers are probably beyond the reach of regulators.

The memo, uncovered by Fox News, said attempts to control the flow of such guns will be "useless" once "their manufacture becomes more widespread."

Significant advances in [3D] printing capabilities, availability of free 3D printer files for firearms components, and difficulty regulating file sharing may present public safety risks from unqualified gun seekers who obtain or manufacture 3D printed guns.
