3D Guns Raise Legal Questions
In the U.S. this month, Americans are discussing whether 3D [three-dimensional] guns are legal.
Cody Wilson says yes. He first used a website to publish designs for a printable handgun in 2013. But the U.S. State Department soon ordered him to stop, saying the designs violated laws related to exports.
This summer, the two parties reached a settlement that would permit Wilson to publish the designs. But when public officials warned that 3D guns threatened public safety, a judge blocked Wilson until the issue could be discussed again.
A First Amendment issue?
Wilson calls his argument a First Amendment case. The First Amendment, part of the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, permits Americans the right to most kinds of speech. Wilson believes it permits him to share the plans to make a gun with a 3D printer.
His lawyer, Josh Blackman, said, "This is a very, very, very easy First Amendment question that I think people might be hesitant to accept because it involves guns and people don't like guns."
A public safety issue?
The federal judge who has temporarily blocked Wilson noted the case presented "serious First Amendment issues." But Judge Robert Lasnik also said that guns made on 3D printers could create serious harm.
Critics of 3D guns say criminals or terrorists could easily create the guns and hide them. The New York Times newspaper notes they "can be printed without serial numbers or government regulations."
In addition, all-plastic guns would violate a 1988 law called the Undetectable Firearms Act. That act outlaws guns that cannot be identified by a metal detector. Congress has renewed the act several times, and it remains in effect.
Even though Wilson's designs call for some metal, critics say a user could easily remove those pieces.
"It's an absurdity. You can take the piece of metal out and put it back in at your own whims and you can take it out and walk through a metal detector undetected," said Jonas Oransky, legal director for the group Everytown for Gun Safety.
Wilson answers that he is not making an all-plastic gun. He is simply providing the information on how someone could make one.
The judge will meet with lawyers about the case next week.
U.S. President Donald Trump has also said he is thinking about the issue.

3D打印枪支引发法律问题
本月，美国的民众都在讨论3D打印枪支是否合法。
科迪·威尔逊（Cody Wilson）声称合法。2013年，他首次在网站上发布了可3D打印手枪的设计图。但是很快，美国国务院很快勒令他停止发布，称该设计图违反了出口相关法律。
今年夏天，双方达成了一项协议，允许威尔逊发布这些设计图。但当公职人员警告3D打印枪支会威胁公众安全时，一名法官阻止了威尔逊发布图纸，直到重新对该问题进行审议。
第一修正案争议？
威尔逊称，他的论据是第一修正案。作为美国宪法权利法案的一部分，第一修正案保障美国民众对大多数言论自由的权利。威尔逊认为，该法案允许他发布3D打印枪支的设计图。
他的律师乔什·布莱克曼（ Josh Blackman）表示，“这是一例非常简单的第一修正案相关案件，我认为人们可能会犹豫不决，因为这涉及到枪支，而人们对枪支深恶痛绝。”
公共安全隐患？
临时阻止威尔逊的联邦法官罗伯特·拉斯尼克（Robert Lasnik）指出，该案件提出了严重的第一修正案的争议。但是拉斯尼克也表示，3D打印枪支可能会引发严重的伤害。
3D打印枪支的批评者表示，犯罪或恐怖分子可轻易制造并藏匿这类枪支。《纽约时报》也指出，这种打印枪支没有序列号，也缺乏政府监管。“
此外，全塑料枪支违反了1988年一项名为《不可探测枪支法案》。该法案规定，金属探测器无法探测到的为“非法枪支”。国会已经多次更新该法案，并且该法案仍然有效。
虽然威尔逊的设计图需要金属材质，但是批评者表示，消费者可以轻易移除这些金属片。
“这太荒谬了。你可以按照自己的意愿把这块金属片随意取出或放回。你可以把金属片取出来通过金属探测器检测。”枪支安全组织（Everytown for Gun Safety）法律总监Jonas Oransky说道。
威尔逊回应称，他并不是要制造全塑料枪支，他只是单纯地提供制造这种枪支的信息。
下周，法官将与负责该案的律师见面。
特朗普总统也表示，他正在考虑这个问题。
