New York lawmakers, led by Governor Kathy Hochul, are taking significant steps to combat the production of 'ghost guns'—untraceable firearms that can be created using 3D printers. At a recent press conference, Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg announced that two 3D-printing companies have agreed to implement technology that prevents the printing of gun components. Additionally, a digital design firm will remove certain firearm CAD files from their offerings.
Proposed legislation is underway to officially criminalize the production of these anonymous guns, reflecting a growing commitment to tightening regulations around firearm accessibility and manufacturing.
