OTTAWA — ublic Safety Canada says it’s closely monitoring U.S. moves that would allow designs for 3D-printed guns to be posted online.

But it says in Canada a business licence is required to produce a firearm, regardless of how it’s made.

It adds it’s illegal to make or possess a firearm without the right licence and registration certificate.

Anyone who makes weapons or ammunition knowing they aren’t authorized to do so could face up to 10 years in prison.
