Last week Raccoon Valley Radio sat down with both nominees for the Iowa House District 20 seat to get their thoughts on several current event topics. One of those topics was 3-D printed weapons. Republican nominee Ray “Bubba” Sorensen says law-abiding citizens should not be restricted in how they furnish their firearms.

“Individuals who aren’t disqualified from purchasing or possessing firearms have always been able to build or customize their firearms as long as they’re in accordance with the law. The second amendment doesn’t ask who made the gun, or out of what material, or how much it costs. It protects the individual right of a law abiding citizen to keep and bear firearms.”

Sorensen also points out that the Undetectable Firearms Act prohibits the manufacture and possession of firearms that don’t have enough metal to trigger a metal detector. While he understands the restlessness the general public may feel on the issue, he believes current legislation is where it needs to be to enhance safety precautions and the possibility of 3-D printed weapons.
