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

Washington (December 9, 2013) - Senator Edward J. Markey (DMass.), a cosponsor 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 3D 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."
