![]() In March, a terrorist armed with two semi-automatic rifles and two shotguns. In addition to the 3D printed gun parts and sawed off shotgun, police also found a part of 3D printed knuckle dusters, ammunition and cannabis on the property. Already in 2019, 156 people have already been killed in US mass shootings, and gun-related deaths are at a 20-year high. If this is the case, it will be the first time that Queensland police have ever encountered 3D printed weapon components. “To us it appears that they are complete weapons just requiring assembly.” “We’ve obviously got to get it through our ballistic experts but we can identify most if not all of the major components of a weapon,” stated detective Scott Knowles. The weapons charges did not stem from the 3D printed parts, but rather a sawed off shotgun.Īccording to Queensland police, once the 3D printed parts found are confirmed to be for the construction of a gun or multiple guns, additional charges will likely be brought against the individual. ![]() The 28-year-old, whose property was searched this morning, was arrested on weapons and drugs charges. What sparked the raid, we are unsure of, but what the police turned up seem to be rather incriminating. During a raid on a property located in Mudgeeraba, an organized crimes firearms investigation team stumbled upon numerous 3D printed parts which appeared to have been components for guns.

However, there is little doubt in my mind, as well as that of law enforcement, that one day in the not too distant future, a violent crime will occur centered around the 3D printing of guns. It would be nice to think that the status quo would remain. Yes, in some nations like Japan, owning the gun itself is considered a crime in and of itself, but no violent crime has yet been reported, linked to such weapons. The subject is already hotly debated, but as of yet there have been no reported crimes that we have been made aware of, in which a 3D printed gun has been used. We all know that, sooner or later, 3D printed guns will make headline, and not in a good way.
