The police thank Mr Tan Kar Quan for his feedback ("Beware the dark side of 3D printing"; last Sunday).

We have in place tough laws against the trafficking, manufacture and use of firearms. This applies equally to 3D-printed firearms. It is already an offence under the Arms and Explosives Act for anyone to use a 3D printer to manufacture any arms or any component part of any arms without a licence.
