(UNO Agency) – After the string of shootings that occurred in the Metropolitan Region (RM) and within the framework of the “anti-drug agenda”, the UDI deputies, Álvaro Carter and Osvaldo Urrutia, announced the entry of a new bill that seeks sanction the use of 3D printers for the manufacture of firearms.

“3D printers allow the printing of any tangible object that is conceived and can be modeled in software. Thus, it is absolutely possible to use this technology with illicit purposes that cause harm to society, as it is, for example, the printing of 3D weapons, “says the bill.

Along these lines, both deputies recalled that in 2018 an agreement was reached in the United States for the commercialization of manuals that allowed the firearms home print, which is currently suspended pending a ruling from justice.

For this reason, Carter and Urrutia maintained that “as we know that the criminals and drug trafficking groups They are always managing to act, we as a State have to be able to anticipate them and regulate any type of gap that may exist in our legislation ”.

Along the same lines, they added that “we all know the scopes of 3D printers and that every day they are more massive in our country. And today it is no longer an argument for not legislating the high value of these products, because we know that criminal groups and drug traffickers manage many resources, “they added.

The UDI legislators ruled that “that is why we decided to present this project and ask the government to sponsor it, because we are in serious danger if we even consider that these 3D weapons do not even have a serial number ”.
