Michigan Senate’s New Legislation Will Make It ILLEGAL To Own This Type Of Gun

3D printing is a fun hobby that has plenty of fans of all ages. My friends and I have made all kinds of little figurines an some plant pots using a 3D printer. But it is used professionally as well, allowing for advances in professional fields like the healthcare industry and changing how homes are being built.

But one thing that people have started making with 3D printers has become a source of major controversy that has seen swift legislation from the President himself. Now, Michigan lawmakers have decided they want to completely ban a type of gun that doesn't have any government oversight and has become a dangerous item.

3D Printed "Ghost Guns"

3D printers allow users to print pretty much anything they want, and one of those things is a fully functional "ghost gun", or a gun that is made in people's own homes and bypasses the usual background checks safety measures. People who are usually barred from owning firearms like people with domestic violence charges can skirt safety parameters.

Ghost Guns are easy to me, do not have serial numbers, and are impossible to track. These guns are dangerous as witnessed recently when Luigi Mangione allegedly killed United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson using one of these weapons. While the timing of this killing and the ban is nothing more than a coincidence, it is a representation of what these guns can do in the wrong hands.

Michigan Senate Ban

To avoid these ghost guns from continuing the fly under the radar, Michigan's Senate just passed legislation (Senate Bill No. 1149) to make it illegal to

"manufacture, assemble, import, purchase, sell, offer to sell, or transfer ownership of any firearm that is not imprinted with a valid serial number."

On top of this, Senate Bill No. 1150 was amended to include owning these types of weapons as a punishable offense.

The bill now moves to the Michigan House of Representatives to be voted on before heading to Governor Gretchen Whitmer's desk.
