NY lawmakers push 3D printer firms to block ghost guns

New York lawmakers are urging 3D printer companies to implement technology that prevents the printing of components for untraceable 'ghost guns.' Governor Kathy Hochul and other officials are concerned about the proliferation of firearms without serial numbers, which bypass background checks. Two 3D printing companies have reportedly agreed to adopt blocking measures, and a digital design firm will remove relevant blueprints from its services. Legislation is also being proposed to criminalize the creation and possession of such firearms, aiming to curb illegal gun manufacturing.
