It was a near world-wide release of instructions to make a 3-D printed gun. A US judge ruled that a website had to temporarily suspend posting the blueprint for undetectable firearms.

Hamilton, Halton and Niagara’s top cops gave thoughts about the impact these plastic untraceable weapons known as “Ghost Guns” will have in the world of policing.

Undetectable plastic guns have been illegal for decades but the blue prints for the weapons are out there and thousands have been downloading them.

Guns that are capable of going undetected, they are untraceable, and defeating metal detectors.

While a US federal judge stopped a Texas based website called “Defense Distributed” from formally releasing the blueprints, it turns out some of the plans were posted online to the world anyway.

Pennsylvania’s attorney general said within days 1000 people already downloaded 3-D plans for AR-15 semiautomatic rifles. Many re-posted them on torrent websites to download software, video and now plastic gun templates for free the scary part is they work.

A gun called “The Liberator” is made almost entirely out of ABS plastic the same material used to make lego bricks and it will change policing.

The federal government is warning canadians that anyone who makes a weapon or ammunition knowing they aren’t authorized to do so could face up to 10 years in prison.
