A majority of the objects in question originate from Peru’s North Coast, a heavily looted area rich with pre-Columbian tombs and relics from the Moche civilisation, a non-monolithic group that specialised in the production of gold and ceramics from 100AD to 800AD.

D.A. Bragg, Senator Hoylman-Sigal And Assemblymember Rosenthal Announce New Push To Address Emergence Of 3D-Printed Guns & Auto Sears Click For More

“Driving down gun violence and addressing the proliferation of 3D-printed and ghost guns is an ongoing priority for my office that requires an aggressive and holistic approach. Auto sears are dangerous weapons that further exacerbate gun violence and need to be treated extremely seriously. Our proposed legislation reflects a comprehensive legislative fix that would give us additional tools to hold people accountable who are using and developing illegal firearms. I hope the legislature gives serious consideration to this bill before the session ends in June, and I thank Senator Hoylman-Sigal and Assemblymember Rosenthal for their continued support and leadership,” said District Attorney Bragg.
