I seem to remember this thing called the 1st amendment…..<\/p>\n
Lawmakers Call on Biden to Make it More Difficult for People to Download Gun Blueprints<\/a><\/p>\n Lawmakers in\u00a0California<\/a>, led by Congressman Mike Thompson, penned a letter asking the\u00a0Joe Biden<\/a>\u00a0administration to hold manufacturers responsible for homemade ghost guns.<\/p>\n We obtained a copy of the letter for you\u00a0here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Currently, it is relatively easy to buy gun parts, or make them at home with a 3D printer, and create an untraceable firearm. Ghost guns allow people to circumvent the background check requirement to own a gun.<\/p>\n \u201cIt is far too easy for anyone to download from the internet the computer code to 3D-print unserialized, untraceable, plastic \u2018ghost guns,’\u201d the letter said. \u201cThese 3D-printed weapons circumvent our system of gun safety rules and regulations, and pose a serious threat to public safety and national security.\u201d<\/p>\n The question of banning the distribution of blueprints for 3D printed guns has been debated over the years, with much speculation that banning the sharing of blueprints is a\u00a0First Amendment<\/a>\u00a0violation.<\/p>\n \u201cPresident Biden can undo the\u00a0Trump-era rule<\/a>\u00a0that has made the instructions for the 3D-printing of untraceable and deadly \u2018ghost\u2019 guns widely available online,\u201d said Senator Markey. \u201cThe online distribution of these ghost gun blueprints only increases the risk of these weapons proliferating and poses a serious threat to public safety and national security. President Biden should fulfil his campaign promise and reverse the Trump administration\u2019s weakening of these gun safety regulations.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cThey\u2019re making firearms and they\u2019re shooting and they\u2019re killing people,\u201d Thompson said.<\/p>\n \u201cIf you are a danger to yourself or to others, if you\u2019re dangerously mentally ill, if you\u2019re a criminal, you should not be able to get your mitts on a gun,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n CBS13 asked Thompson about gun advocacy groups pushing back against manufacturers being held liable yet they did not commit the actual crimes.<\/p>\n \u201cI have one word for these groups and that\u2019s, \u2018tough.\u2019 We need these rules,\u201d he responded.<\/p>\n Thompson is urging the Biden administration to tighten federal enforcement on these guns because he does not believe that such legislation would pass through Congress.<\/p>\n \u201cWell, I\u2019d like to see congress have the intestinal fortitude to pass legislation that would prohibit this nonsense from taking place. But as you know, as long as they have this 60-vote rule in the Senate, we\u2019re never going to get a bill like that passed,\u201d said Thompson.<\/p>\n Thompson wants the President to direct the ATF and DOJ to pass stricter rules that would hold manufacturers liable for ghost guns.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I seem to remember this thing called the 1st amendment…..
