NEW YORK — New York will try to make it a crime to print a gun at home.
Lawmakers are responding to a surge in gun crimes committed with untraceable firearms, known as ghost guns, increasingly being created using a 3D printer.
Under current New York law, someone who possesses or distributes a 3D printed gun can be charged with a misdemeanor. A proposed new law would make it a felony to manufacture a gun using a 3D printer. The necessary components to create a fully functional 3D printed gun cost about $150 dollars, according to the NYPD.
According to the NYPD, there has been a 75% increase in ghost gun seizures in the past year. 20 ghost guns have been recovered at the scenes of homicides or shootings just in Manhattan since the start of 2022. Since the Manhattan district attorney's office began keeping track in 2021, there have been 90 ghost gun prosecutions in the office.The proposed legislation would criminalize both the printing of guns and the intentional sharing of the digital instructions the printer needs to follow.
