Toronto Man Arrested for 3D Printed Ghost Guns

0:00It's April 30th. Welcome in. This is Canada News Today, where local news meets AI. I'm Cory with the story. A 28-year-old Toronto man named Brian Narciso is facing a bunch of fire arm charges for making and selling 3D printed ghost guns right from his home. Police raided his place and found working handguns, parts to build up to 24 more guns, a 3D printer, digital blueprints, and cash from the sales. They also grabbed over 100 spin casings and unspin rounds, showing he was testing these weapons. This marched the first bust in Toronto tied to possessing computer files, specifically for manufacturing or trafficking guns, according to the gun, and gang task force. Inspector Steve Matthews called it a fresh challenge as crime keeps evolving and cops are racing to stay ahead. Ghost guns are homemade fire arms with no serial numbers, making them untraceable frames printed on 3D printers, and mixed with other parts to fire, real bullets.

1:02In 2023, Canada's Bill C-21 banned these weapons outright and made it illegal to even have the digital files for printing them. The investigation, dubbed Project Cluster, highlights how one person with a computer and printer can churn out serious firepower at home. A fire arms defense lawyer notes he hasn't seen many such cases yet, but warns it could spike as more folks figure out the tech and laws might need, tweaks down the line. Toronto police are now on high alert for this growing threat, proving they're adapting fast to keep streets safer from these invisible killers.
