3D Guns Raise Legal Questions

3D打印槍支引發(fā)法律問題

In the U.S. this month, Americans are discussing whether 3D [three-dimensional] guns are legal.

這個月在美國，人們都在討論3D打印槍支是否合法。

Cody Wilson says yes. He first used a website to publish designs for a printable handgun in 2013. But the U.S. State Department soon ordered him to stop, saying the designs violated laws related to exports.

科迪·威爾遜(Cody Wilson)聲稱合法。他最初于2013年在一家網(wǎng)站上發(fā)布了可3D打印手槍的設(shè)計圖。但是美國國務(wù)院很快命令他停止發(fā)布，稱該設(shè)計圖違反了出口相關(guān)法律。

This summer, the two parties reached a settlement that would permit Wilson to publish the designs. But when public officials warned that 3D guns threatened public safety, a judge blocked Wilson until the issue could be discussed again.

今年夏天，雙方達成了一項允許威爾遜公布這些設(shè)計圖的解決方案。但是當(dāng)公職人員警告3D打印槍支威脅公眾安全時，一名法官禁止了威爾遜，直到對該問題再次進行審議。

A First Amendment issue?

第一修正案爭端?

Wilson calls his argument a First Amendment case. The First Amendment, part of the U.S. Constitution's Bill of Rights, permits Americans the right to most kinds of speech. Wilson believes it permits him to share the plans to make a gun with a 3D printer.

威爾遜稱他的論據(jù)是第一修正案。作為美國憲法權(quán)利法案的一部分，第一修正案保障美國人大部分的的言論自由權(quán)利。威爾遜認為這條規(guī)定允許他散布用3D打印機制造槍支的設(shè)計圖。

His lawyer, Josh Blackman, said, "This is a very, very, very easy First Amendment question that I think people might be hesitant to accept because it involves guns and people don't like guns."

他的律師約什·布萊克曼( Josh Blackman)表示，“這是非常簡單的第一修正案爭端，我認為人們可能會猶豫不決，因為它涉及槍支，而人們不喜歡槍支。”

A public safety issue?

公共安全爭端?

The federal judge who has temporarily blocked Wilson noted the case presented "serious First Amendment issues." But Judge Robert Lasnik also said that guns made on 3D printers could create serious harm.

臨時禁止威爾遜的聯(lián)邦法官羅伯特·拉斯尼克(Robert Lasnik)指出，該案件提出了嚴重的第一修正案爭端。但是拉斯尼克也表示，3D打印槍支可能會造成嚴重傷害。

Critics of 3D guns say criminals or terrorists could easily create the guns and hide them. The New York Times newspaper notes they "can be printed without serial numbers or government regulations."

3D打印槍支的批評者表示，犯罪分子或恐怖分子可以輕易造出這種槍支并隱藏起來?！都~約時報》指出，這種槍支打印出來沒有序列號，也沒有政府監(jiān)管。“

In addition, all-plastic guns would violate a 1988 law called the Undetectable Firearms Act. That act outlaws guns that cannot be identified by a metal detector. Congress has renewed the act several times, and it remains in effect.

此外，全塑料槍身會違反1988年一項名為《不可探測槍支法案》。該法案規(guī)定金屬探測器無法探測的槍支為不合法。國會已經(jīng)多次更新該法案，并且仍然有效。

Even though Wilson's designs call for some metal, critics say a user could easily remove those pieces.

雖然威爾遜的設(shè)計圖需要一些金屬，但是批評者表示，用戶可以輕易去除這些金屬片。

"It's an absurdity. You can take the piece of metal out and put it back in at your own whims and you can take it out and walk through a metal detector undetected," said Jonas Oransky, legal director for the group Everytown for Gun Safety.

槍支安全組織(Everytown for Gun Safety)法律總監(jiān)Jonas Oransky表示：”這很荒謬。你可以照自己的想法把這塊金屬片隨便取出來或放回去。你把它取出來就能通過金屬探測器檢測。“

Wilson answers that he is not making an all-plastic gun. He is simply providing the information on how someone could make one.

威爾遜回應(yīng)說，他不是要制造全塑料槍支，他只是提供如何制造這種槍支的信息。

The judge will meet with lawyers about the case next week.

法官將于下周與這起案件的律師會面。

U.S. President Donald Trump has also said he is thinking about the issue.

川普總統(tǒng)也表示他正在考慮這個問題。
