Two Colorado men, Christian Granat and Aiden Fritz, are arrested for allegedly running a sophisticated operation that produces 3D-printed “machine gun conversion devices” (MCDs) intended for sale across the United States. Following a tip-off from a confidential informant, federal agents discovered that the duo was using a home in Colorado Springs to manufacture hundreds of these devices, which they concealed in toy LEGO boxes to evade detection.
