A transgender former Police Community Support Officer who used a 3D printer to try and make a semi-automatic weapon at home was jailed today for eight years and six months.
Jurors were told Zoe Watts, 39, had an with an 'obsession' for weapons and attempted to make the lethal weapon to 'sneak past law enforcement'.
Jonathon Dee, prosecuting, said the initials of the 'semi-automatic' FGC MK II Nutty weapon attempted to be made by Watts stood for the words 'F**k gun control.'
Watts was convicted in June of using a 3D printer to try and make a lethal firearm after jurors discounted the defendant's claim that she had been making a 'fidget' toy gun as a Christmas present.
Sentencing her this morning, Judge Simon Hirst said Watts had a 'deeply troubling internet search history.'
