The Japanese authorities arrested an 27-time this Thursday because they printed with one 3D printer revolvers, some of which could shoot and kill.
According to Ars Technica, local media ANN News (through the Kotaku) said the authorities seized five pistols made of plastic in the home of the suspect, Yoshitomo Imura, who lives on the southern suburbs of Tokyo. The weapons were made of yellow, blue and white plastic, according to the pictures that were published. Police chief Kanagawa reported that they also discovered the plans he had downloaded from the Internet for the construction of weapons.
"I made the weapons with the 3D printer I have in my house. "I do not think it was illegal," said Yoshitomo Imura. He later said on Twitter that "these restrictions are a violation of human rights." The rate of armed violence in Japan is one of the lowest in all industrialized countries. Weapons are not illegal in the country, but buyers face several checks on their history and other obstacles.
One of the first 3D-printed revolvers is the revolver "Liberator”That we had published last year.
