27-year-old Kansas City man faces federal charges for 3D-printed machine gun conversion devices.

Dalton R. Johnston, a 27-year-old from Kansas City, faces federal charges for possessing over 400 homemade machine gun conversion devices made with a 3D printer. The U.S. Department of Justice claims he manufactured and sold these devices, which can convert semi-automatic firearms into fully automatic ones, in the local area. If convicted, Johnston could face up to 10 years in prison and fines for each charge, as authorities aim to curb the spread of such illegal firearms.
