Authorities confiscated components for 19 weapons made from 3D printing, including assault weapons.

MADRID (AP) — Spanish police said Sunday that they have uncovered the first workshop using a 3D printer to make illegal firearms in the country.

Police said that one person was arrested on Tenerife in the Canary Islands after being linked to the clandestine workshop where the suspect allegedly made assault weapons from 3D printing.

Beside the printer, agents also confiscated the components for 19 weapons made from 3D printing, several knives, chemicals that could be used in fabricating explosives, and “objects with white supremacist symbols.”

The joint operation was carried out by Spain’s National Police and Treasury Office.

and *objects with white supremacist symbols.*

My Little Pony comic books, or diving hand signal reference cards?

At least someone is making guns in Spain again besides Bergara.

Actually given the way 3D printers keep improving in quality and materials while dropping in price the Europeans have a serious problem on their hands. And I for one have absolutely no sympathy for the socialist bastards running the countries which have made legitimate gun ownership so difficult. Ban legal channels and all you get are the illegal ones. In the end criminal enterprise will flourish. Wait until we get plastic Sten guns and Mac 10s. Oh the sh** will get even more obvious once improved materials makes even the barrels and breech blocks 3D printable.

Sad to see but kind of inevitable with current trends.

There’s no waiting. 3D printed sub guns are here. I saw them on the ctrl+pew website.
