Abstract of 3D GUNS AND 2ND AMENDMENT

 The three-dimensional printers are now available everywhere in the world in the electronics market and other stores. These printers are facing some issues regarding firearms. Through such printers, 3D guns can be made easily with the help of some software skills. These 3D guns are not legal because these firearms are not written with the help of such printers. With the invention of such printers, these 3D guns have become a wild issue for the US government to stop it. Then after this in September, the court of the United States called up for the fifth circuit. From the 1968 Gun control Act, it can be seen that only those people can sell and purchase the firearm those have licensed by the United States of America. These people just deal with a serial number of guns for which they have made a license so that according to that the US government can trace that weapon easily. But in the act, there is an exception for those people that are involved in gun selling and manufacturing. Those persons that are involved in making their guns on their own, this means they are 80% receiver. The 80% receiver means that the person has metal parts to make a proper firearm for himself and it is also called receiver.  These 3D printers can prepare 3D guns, and that is totally against the exception of the 1968 act. Anyone with such printer can make their gun that doesn’t contain any serial number.

Timeline of 3D GUNS AND 2ND AMENDMENT

1963: The gun control act has been promoted initially by the President of the United States of America named John F. Kennedy (Michaud)[i]. 

1965: At that time, the bill has been regulated for the interstate shipment of Firearms, and this bill will be presented in 1965, and that bill is the reflection of the federal firearm act of 1938, and these laws have been presented by Senator Thomas (Smith)[ii].

This is because there is no proper license for such guns, and also it does not contain any serial number on it. These type of guns can be prepared at home with the help of 3D printers (Bbc)[vii].

The gun act was initially promoted by the president of America that was Mr. Kennedy. With the help of this law, the selling of guns has been restricted because through such selling of guns the crimes are increasing brutally, that why the president emphasizes that law in their country.

For this, there will be a proper system that will able to check an appropriate gun license of the gun seller and purchaser.

3D guns can easily be manufactured with the help of 3D printers, and such weapons are building at home. Due to this, it does not contain any serial numbers, so due to this these guns are banned in that country according to the Gun control Act of that US. The first firearm was presented in 2013, and then its blue print has been downloaded more than 10,000 times.
