Lawmaker queried ATF for plan of action to address 3D printed plastic guns

Senator Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.), a co-sponsor of the legislation, released the following statement today after the Senate vote to extend the ban on undetectable guns.

"I applaud reauthorization of the Undetectable Firearms Act to ensure a new generation of stealth weapons made with 3D printing technology don't go undetected. This is only a first step though, as there are still loopholes in the Undetectable Firearms Act that must be closed. We must not allow a 3-D printer cartridge to become as deadly as a gun cartridge. I look forward to continuing to work with my colleagues and the ATF to ensure this legislation is permanently reauthorized and any loopholes are closed."
