WARNING

Sessions: Makers of ‘Undetectable’ Plastic Guns Will Be Prosecuted

He made the statement a day after the DOJ asked a court not to block the public from downloading blueprints for 3D-printed guns.

In a new statement, U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions warned that Americans who use 3D printers to make “undetectable” plastic guns will be “prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.” This warning comes just one day after his department asked a court not to block the public from downloading blueprints for 3D-printed guns. “Under federal law, it is illegal to manufacture or possess plastic firearms that are undetectable. Violation of this law is punishable by up to five years in prison,” Sessions said in his Thursday statement. “We will not stand for the evasion ... of current law and will take action to ensure that individuals who violate the law by making plastic firearms and rendering them undetectable, will be prosecuted to the fullest extent.”
