Today’s Action: Keep 3D gun blueprints off the internet
We’re going to take a wild guess and say that you support background checks on gun purchases. As well as safety regulations on gun manufacturing, and serial numbers which indicate gun owners. Oh, and keeping semi-automatic weapons out of the hands of the general public. Stopping guns from entering airplanes?
So do the Attorney Generals of 19 states, who are suing Trump’s State Department for allowing blueprints for guns created on at-home 3D printers fully available on the internet, downloadable for anyone and everyone. 3D-printable guns require NO background checks, have NO safety regulations, NO serial numbers, can slip through metal detectors…and yes, the blueprints include semi-automatic weapons.
There are two pieces of legislation in the Senate to combat this latest move from Trump’s trigger-happy administration…and we need them fast, because the blueprints have already been released.
This latest move from Trump’s administration is, in short, lunacy — and will allow loads of untraceable, undetectable fresh new guns to enter our public spaces, our schools, airports, and homes(we literally can’t estimate how many because they’ll be utterly unregulated).
Trump himself seems to not even be aware of the consequences of his team’s actions, if we can base anything off of his tweet…which is, sadly, usually the most accurate indicator of how our President feels on any issue.
Unacceptable. Congress must push forward with legislation to shut down this horrific new open market of gun accessibility.
We’ll keep saying #NeverAgain until it actually comes true.
