The advent of 3D-printed guns, initially showcased by Defense Distributed in 2013, reignited discussions about gun accessibility and safety. Subsequent events, including lawsuits against Cody Wilson, highlighted ongoing legal and ethical dilemmas surrounding this technology. Although alarming in concept, the practical implications of 3D printing firearms suggest it is not a viable option for most would-be criminals. The cost of necessary equipment exceeds that of readily available guns, and the quality of printed firearms often proves inadequate for serious criminal purposes, ultimately making traditional firearms a more sensible choice for dangerous individuals.
The idea of criminals printing their own guns raises concerns, but given the cost and practicality, buying traditional firearms remains far more viable for illicit use.
While 3D-printed guns can be made, the first generation is typically a single-shot, low-caliber weapon, which lacks significant utility for serious criminal activity.
