Insecurity Distributed: Selling 3D-Printed Guns Threatens Public Safety
Washington, D.C. — U.S. Congressman Lloyd Doggett (D-TX), reacted to the announcement from Texas-based Defense Distributed that they will sell 3D-printed guns in spite of yesterday's court decision:
"Insecurity is the real product that Defense Distributed is distributing. We must overcome this scheme to thwart all efforts to assure the safety of our schools, airports and other public places. A new Congress could pass The Untraceable Firearms Act, which I am sponsoring, to assure enough metal in these weapons to make them detectable by existing screening devices and to require an identifying number at the time of manufacture to assure their traceability by law enforcement. While we cannot undo all of the damage that the Trump Administration has conspired to promote, we should enact reasonable gun safety measures to reduce the danger. Meanwhile, I hope the court in Seattle can broaden its order to prevent this effort at circumvention."
