Are you ready for what it takes to stop ghost guns? New laws in California and New York might stop anyone from 3D printing guns — and create entirely new kinds of surveillance. (www.theverge.com)

A "ghost gun" is any gun without a serial number.

So you have to ban more than the 3D printer data files.

You will need to ban metal files as well. That's how real ghost guns are made.
