Rejected petition Ban 3D printers for personal use

More details

I saw an online news article recently where a man in the United States made a fully functioning automatic machine gun with a 3D printer.

If that's the case, then 3D printers should be illegal for personal use because it could allow people (especially children) to make dangerous weapons. (Knives, etc.)

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
