New York Targets Ghost Guns via 3D Printers

New York is pushing forward with a bold new law that could force 3D printers to include tech that blocks gun prints—potentially setting a national standard. As printer ownership explodes from 30,000 to over 3 million, so too have untraceable “ghost guns” in crimes, prompting this crackdown. The tech would scan designs against a gun-part database, rejecting matches—but critics warn it might misflag innocent items or invade privacy. While supporters see it as vital gun safety, skeptics argue criminals will adapt and the tech may not be ready by 2029. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
