WASHINGTON (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 28th August, 2018) US Congressman Eliot Engel in a press release said he is going to introduce a ban on exporting 3D-printed gun designs over the internet without a license.
"I will introduce legislation to amend the Arms Export Control Act to require that the technical information needed to manufacture these weapons cannot be exported via the Internet without a US government license," Engel said on Monday.
US Congress must prevent the proliferation of these undetectable 3D-printed guns, Engel added, because even terrorists and criminals with a laptop would be able to build them.
On August 1, a US Federal judge temporarily blocked publishing on the Internet of the blueprints for printing plastic 3D guns in an effort to stop the settlement reached between US President Donald Trump's administration and a Texas-based company.
