City legislators in Stamford, Connecticut want to take gun confiscation into their own hands.
Jeffrey Stella (D-9) and Rodney Pratt (D-9) of the Board of Representatives are moving an ordinance (https://www.westport-news.com/local/article/Stamford-reps-seek-to-ban-phantom-weapons-13635272.php) forward that would enable police to confiscate homemade firearms from city residents.
The city legislators are specifically targeting 3D printable firearms and “ghost guns (https://ammo.com/articles/3d-printed-firearms-defense-distributed-ghost-gun-guide)” in this case. The two legislators said that “Laws have to keep up with technology that allows people to create plastic weapons using 3-D printers, and to build guns from parts they can buy, unregulated, online.”
According to Stella, their ordinance is based off one that went into effect in Bridgeport (https://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Bridgeport-ordinance-bans-ghost-3D-printed-guns-13375897.php) fourth months prior. This ordinance bans anyone living within the city limits from owning, using or selling weapons manufactured at home, which is currently legal in Connecticut and at the federal level.
