3D printed firearm

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
(Briefly explain why you chose it, why it matters, and what your preliminary impression of it was.)

I chose this article because I’m fascinated with the idea of printing a 3D item from your house, but I’m also nervous that dangerous weapon can be build at home with a tap of a button. Lot of lives can be lost if anyone can build a mass murder weapons at home. I was surprised to see a researched article on 3D printing firearm. This article does include people prospective and government reaction to this innovation.

Lead section-

The lead clearly and concisely describes the articles topic. The article is started with its focus point.This article does gives us brief description of the article major section. it talks about gun control, politics, and history on it. I feel like the lead is not overly details and the lead does not gives nonessential information.

Content-

The content is relevant to topic. The content is about 2-3 year old. All dates and information are not up to date, For example it talks about 2014 japan 3d printed fire arm possession case. All Content looks essential to the article. The article does not cover police prospective of the 3D guns.

Tone and Balance-

The article is neutral. There is no bias data, but the article does fail to represent normal citizens and law enforcement officers view on 3d guns. The article only shows facts and information that are regrading 3d guns.

Sources and references-

secondary sources are reliable because they are citing government page or expects article. The sources are not current some are 2019 and some are 2016 like UK 2018 court case and US 2021circuit court appeals ruling so that could be a problem. I some of the links I clicked did not work. Like the Japanese man arrest for 3d printed gun possession.
