"...it demonstrates that organised(sic) crime groups are acquiring technology...to produce the next generation of weapons."

Do people really think that some relatively low resolution plastic extrusion will be used to manufacturer high tech weapons?

Two things that might interest you:

(1) "organised" is the most common spelling in the UK and is not incorrect anywhere;

(2) when you use "sic" inside a quotation, you put it in square brackets, to show that it's not part of the original quotation but something added. Also, if the quote is in italics you set the "sic" in upright type, and vice versa, because it is a foreign (Latin) word.

Otherwise, good point.

People who know nothing about firearms and/or 3d printing are likely to believe it. People believe all kinds of stupid crap that come from what they perceive as an authority on the topic at hand.
