A 31-year-old has been arrested by Winnipeg police after officers seized 28 guns including some restricted weapons and 3D printed versions of weapon parts that can't be purchased.
On May 14, the Winnipeg Police Services Firearms Investigation Enforcement Unit was notified by the Chief Firearms Office that a man in Winnipeg tried to buy a prohibited part for an AR-15 from a firearms reseller.
On May 21, officers performed another search warrant at the same home and seized computers, a 3-D printer, hard drives, memory sticks, and various gun parts. Police said they also seized many 'cast-off' 3D-printed components. "Ghost guns are the latest trend in firearms manufacturing," said Insp. Max Waddell. "I can only think of one reason why anyone would manufacture a firearm that cannot be registered or detected and that is to circumvent the laws that are in place to protect us all.""Unfortunately by going on the internet there are step-by-step instructions for anybody to follow. So I don't consider this to be highly sophisticated.
