SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — It sounds incredible, but a group is working to download a gun's design and build it on a 3-D printer.
There wouldn't be any background checks for such a gun and that prospect is disquieting to gun control advocates.
New York Rep. Steven Israel says that the possibility of such guns is reason enough to renew the Undetectable Firearms Act. That law makes illegal the building of guns that can't be detected by scanners, but it expires next year.
