Canada sees big increase in 3D-printed homemade firearms known as ‘ghost guns’

Toronto/IBNS:  Canada is witnessing a big increase in 3D-printed guns, homemade firearms referred to as “ghost guns,” even as more than 100  of these were seized by the Canada Police last year, media reports said.


Police in Calgary seized 17 3D-printed guns in 2022, compared to just one each in 2021 and 2020.

“I wasn’t a big proponent of putting a lot of resources into 3D-printed guns here in Calgary when we first started [the unit], because we just didn’t see them,” Ben Lawson, acting staff sergeant of the Calgary Police Service Firearms Investigative Unit said.

“All of a sudden now, we’re seeing this uptick in 2022, so who knows what 2023 is going to bring.”

These guns have been found across the country in cities such as Saskatoon and Winnipeg, Stratford, Ontario, and Vulcan, Alberta.
