Cuomo Responds After Trump Administration Lifts Ban
Governor Andrew Cuomo today announced a series
of actions to prevent the distribution of dangerous 3D gun plans that
allow individuals to cheaply create functioning and untraceable
firearms, including weapons that are illegal in New York State. First,
the Governor issued a cease and desist letter
to Defense Distributed to block the distribution of plans for 3D guns
in New York State after the Trump administration allowed unchecked
distribution of the plans. Second, the Governor directed State Police to
issue a notice reminding New Yorkers that manufacturing assault
weapons—including with 3D printers—is illegal in New York. Third, the
Governor announced the he would pursue legislation to bolster the
state's nation-leading gun safety laws and outlaw private production of
all 3D and so-called ghost guns that are untraceable and invisible to
metal detectors.
"While the Trump administration
tries to put more guns in the hands of criminals and dangerous
individuals, New York is taking action to uphold our laws and keep our
communities safe," Governor Cuomo said. "As the nation rises up and
calls for action against gun violence, it is absurd and frightening that
the federal government wants to make accessing an automatic weapon as
easy as hitting print. New York is proud to have the strongest gun
safety laws in the nation, and we won't let this federal government take
us backwards."
