The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has granted a petition for allowance of appeal in a case that challenges a Philadelphia ordinance banning privately manufactured firearms (PMF).
The case was filed in state court by Gun Owners of America (GOA) and Gun Owners Foundation (GOF) after the City of Philadelphia passed a city ordinance that restricted the manufacturing of firearms, components, and attachments for personal use by residents. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker and former Mayor Jim Kennedy both claimed that so-called “ghost guns” were flooding the streets of the City of Brotherly Love, leading to an epidemic of gun violence, even though the raw data doesn’t back that conclusion.
The ordinance doesn’t just ban building guns from 80% frame kits such as those sold by the now defunct Polymer80, but it also forbids the making of firearms via additive manufacturing such as 3D printing. Nowhere else in the state is this practice banned, and state law doesn’t say you can’t 3D print a gun. In fact, Pennsylvania is the home of the Makers Match, which is a shooting competition that uses 3D-printed firearms.
