A global network of gun enthusiasts is using the internet to anonymously share the files needed to 3D-print firearms — and there’s seemingly nothing anyone can do to stop them, according to a newly published Wired<\/em> story<\/a> that includes an interview with one of the network’s members.<\/p> “If they [the government] were to come after me, they’d first have to find my identity,” a person going by the name Ivan the Troll told Wired<\/em>. “I’m one of many, many like-minded individuals who’re doing this sort of work.”<\/p> Guns are, obviously, not illegal in the United States. The issue with 3D-printed guns is that they make it easy for people to circumvent existing gun laws.<\/p> Essentially, anyone with access to an adequate 3D printer can go online, download a CAD file for free, and print the parts needed to build a functioning firearm — and “anyone” includes people prohibited from owning guns<\/a> for legitimate reasons.<\/p> Ivan the Troll doesn’t seem to see an issue with this, telling Wired<\/em> that thousands of people across the globe are currently developing 3D-printed guns — and there’s seemingly no magic bullet that could convince them to stop.<\/p> “I believe it is inherently important that… you should be able to own a gun,” he said. “You should be able to own the same legal force that the cops are using to control you.”<\/p> READ MORE:<\/strong> 3D-printed guns are back, and this time they are unstoppable<\/a> [Wired<\/em>]<\/p> More on 3D-printed guns: <\/strong>A Court Just Sent a Man to Prison for 3D Printing a Gun<\/a><\/em><\/p> The post Anonymous Group of 3D-Printed Gun Makers Is Spreading Online<\/a> appeared first on Futurism<\/a>.<\/p> Visit link: One of Many A global network of gun enthusiasts is using the internet to anonymously share the files needed to 3D-print firearms\u00a0\u2014 and there\u2019s seemingly nothing anyone can do to stop them, according to a newly published\u00a0 Wired story that includes\u00a0an interview with\u00a0one of the network\u2019s members. \u201cIf they [the government] were to come after me, they\u2019d first have to find my identity,\u201d a person going by the name Ivan the Troll told Wired .
