ATF and DOJ Ask 3D Printing Industry to Block Homemade Gun Parts - Ammoland.com

 The Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) and the Justice Department (DOJ) are asking the 3D printing industry to block the printing of gun parts.

Earlier this month, the government held an event hosted by ATF Director Steve Dettelbach and U.S. Deputy Attorney General Lisa Monaco. The government invited federal law enforcement, members of the 3D-printing industry, and academia to the conference in Washington, DC. The goal was to pressure the industry to stem the tide of 3D-printed gun parts.

“Law enforcement cannot do this alone,” Monaco said during the meeting. “We need to engage software developers, technology experts, and leaders in the 3-D-printing industry to identify solutions in this fight.”

The ATF and DOJ discussed people using 3D printers to make machinegun conversion devices (MCDs) such as “Yankee Boogles.” A “Yankee Boogle” is a device made on 3D printers that allows a user to convert a semi-automatic AR-15 to a fully automatic firearm. It can be made on any 3D printer with under a dollar of PLA filament. The ATF claims it takes them 37 minutes to produce each Yankee Boogle.

Federal Court Refuses to Dismiss 2A Civil Rights Case Against Police Officers - Ammoland.com

 Federal District Judge Joe Billy McDade has refused to dismiss a lawsuit against individual police officers for willful actions to deprive an Illinois man of his Second Amendment rights under 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This civil rights case was filed on February 6, 2024. The plaintiff in the case is ROBERT K. KUHLMAN; the Attorney representing Mr. Kuhlman is David Sigale. David Sigale has had considerable success in representing clients in Second Amendment cases.

According to court documents, on July 17, 2023, Mr. Kuhlman’s mother called him and the police about an alleged trespasser who would not leave her home. The trespasser was acting strangely. Kuhlman arrived at the home. He asked the intruder to leave. The intruder started to reach into a bag. Mr. Kuhlman drew his pistol and held the intruder for police. The incident occurred in Normal, Illinois.

Police arrived and searched the intruder, asked for and received Mr. Kuhlman’s handgun, then returned it to him. They transported the intruder to a facility for mental evaluation. They did not arrest or charge Mr. Kuhlman.

Later, one of the police officers, Officer Nicholas Hines, and his supervisor, Officer Serena Cunningham, filed a report to the Illinois State Police, contending Mr. Kuhlman was a “clear and present danger” to himself and others. Mr. Kuhlman had his Firearms Owner Identification Card and his Concealed Carry License revoked. Mr. Kuhlman claims the report included significant and deliberate factual errors, resulting in the loss of his Second Amendment rights.
