Should we be worried about 3D 'Ghost Guns'? 

From Nights, 10:45 pm on 19 February 2025

With public submissions on the Arms Act closing this month, Professor Al Gillespie says we need to consider the threat of 'ghost guns' 

He says computer-aided manufacture, of which 3D-printing technology is the best-known form, enables manufacture without traditional gunsmithing skills.

 Al Gillespie joins Emile Donovan to explain why he thinks it’s an issue we can’t ignore.

3D-printed guns come in an array of colours and can resemble children's toys.
