Bay Area Man Arrested, Accused of Selling 3D-Printed Guns On Etsy
Etsy describes itself as a “global online marketplace, where people come together to make, sell, buy, and collect unique items.” Certainly, the e-commerce platform inspires thoughts of enchanting wooden dollhouses, micro crochet miniature otters, pet detective outfits for kittens and papercraft flamingo sculptures. According to federal officials, however, Alexander McGrail Reynolds had something different in mind, allegedly using the global bazaar to sell 3D-printed Glock-style handgun frames labeled as Airsoft toys, popular, plastic BB firing, replica guns modeled after real firearms.
