From Innovation to Inquisition
Everytown for Gun Safety’s recent “3D Printed Firearms Summit” in New York City wasn’t a forum on technology it was a panic session about freedom.
The event aimed to “stem the tide of 3D-printed firearm violence,” yet the discussion sounded more like an inquisition against innovation than a serious safety meeting.
This was the latest in a long line of anti-gun summits recycled from the Biden-Harris era, only now Everytown’s footing the bill instead of taxpayers.
The organization showcased “exclusive recovery data” from twenty cities (data not shared with the public) then used it to paint 3D printing as a looming national crisis.
Old Rights, New Technology
Homemade firearms aren’t new. Americans have built privately made firearms (PMFs) since the Revolution. Federal law still allows it: as long as the gun is for personal use, detectable, and not for sale, it’s legal.
3D printing simply modernizes that same tradition. Everytown’s attempt to blur the line between “ghost guns” and 3D-printed parts ignores the fact that laws like the NFA, GCA, and Undetectable Firearms Act already regulate these firearms.
A printed gun without a serial number isn’t “undetectable” and if it were, it would already be illegal.
From Control to Censorship
Manhattan DA Alvin Bragg has pressured printer makers and platforms like YouTube to remove firearm design files and block educational content.
Some advocates even want firmware that detects and halts the printing of gun parts. If a printer can block shapes, what’s to stop it from tracking or reporting users next?

Bills like the GHOST Act would go further, empowering the government to track parts purchases and tighten surveillance around lawful gun owners.
These efforts reveal a steady drift from “gun safety” toward tech censorship and citizen monitoring.
Freedom on the Line
The irony is striking. The same tool used for art, medical devices, and auto parts is now being vilified because it can make a gun.
Everytown’s summit proves the movement’s true aim isn’t just banning guns it’s controlling the means of creation itself.
As the NRA-ILA put it, gun control’s newest obsession shows how far they’re willing to go: not just a gun-free America, but an America where every precursor to a gun is under watch.
If fear of technology drives policy, the printing press itself wouldn’t be safe.

Silver leverage is strong here; beta cuts both ways though.

The cost guidance is better than expected. If they deliver, the stock could rerate.
