Aaron Katersky/ABC News(NEW YORK) New York will try to make it a crime to print a gun at home.
Lawmakers are responding to a surge in gun crimes committed with untraceable firearms, known as ghost guns, increasingly being created using a 3D printer.
"You can sit at your kitchen table and print out weapons of destruction," Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg said Friday during a visit with reporters.
Under current New York law, someone who possesses or distributes a 3D printed gun can be charged with a misdemeanor. A proposed new law would make it a felony to manufacture a gun using a 3D printer.
The goal is to "attack the manufacture" of these kinds of weapons, which can be printed for a fraction of the cost of buying a traditional firearm, said State Senator Brad Hoylman, a sponsor.
The necessary components to create a fully functional 3D printed gun cost about $150 dollars, according to the NYPD.
"We have individuals who that are printing silencer

Barry officially came out in 2017, and the legendary entertainer, who married his longtime boyfriend, Gary Kief, in 2014, says it s been nothing but a positive experience.
"Nothing changed. It was a nonevent. Gary and I have been together for 45 years, so nothing changed. My fans knew. Everybody knew. Everybody knew!" Manilow tells ABC Audio. "I wasn t ever hiding it. Y know, not one interviewer in all those years ever asked me if I was gay. I would pay you $100 if you could find an interview where somebody asked me that question. If they had, I would not have held back."
However, Manilow says there was one part of his career during which he would not have spoken about it: the very beginning.
"Maybe in the 70s, maybe in the beginning of my career, because that would have ruined the career," he says. "I was jus
Google Maps Street View(SACRAMENTO, Calif.) More than a dozen migrants were dropped off on the doorstep of a California church after being transported to the state via private plane, according to state officials.
The migrants were dropped off at the Diocese of Sacramento on Saturday "with no prior arrangement or care in place" and in possession of documentation purporting to be from the government of the State of Florida, California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement.
The group had been transported from Texas to New Mexico before being flown by private chartered jet to Sacramento, California Gov. Gavin Newsom said in a statement.
Officials are evaluating potential civil action against those who transported or arranged for the transport of "these vulnerable immigrants," Bonta said, comparing the move to "state-sanctioned kidnapping."

Carlos Barquero/Getty Images(NEW YORK) As Pride Month kicks off, the continuing anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and legislation that has grown over the past several years is on the minds of many people, and event organizers across the country say they have prepared for this and have implemented security protocols that ensure performers and attendees can have fun without fear.
“Are we increasing our plans for security? The answer is no, not because we don t see the need for it, but because our plans have been incredibly robust to begin with for many years,” said Dan Dimant, the media director for NYC Pride.
Cameron Jay Harrelson, the parade director for Georgia s Athens Pride, said that hosting such events in the deep South has always made organizers “hyper aware and hyper-focused” on safety.
“That feels a little more heavy this year with the attacks that we ve seen in legislation, in politics across the country,” Harrelson said.

Cyrus Carmack-Belton, 14, died after being shot in the back on Monday, authorities said. The teen was chased from the gas station by the owner and the owner s son after they wrongly believed he had shoplifted several bottles of water and was shot during the pursuit, according to the Richland County Sheriff s Office.
The store s owner, 58-year-old Rick Chow, has since been arrested and charged with murder in connection with the teen s death.
Cyrus was a student at Summit Parkway Middle School in Columbia, where he was in its STEM magnet program, the school said.
