Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

Assembly Bill A8132 has been assigned a "Same As" bill in the Senate: S8586 [NYSenate.gov] [A8132 - 2023]

I don't own a gun, I never have and I don't plan to at any time in the future. But if these pass in the NYS Senate and Congress, it would be required to submit fingerprints for a background check then wait 15 days, before you could own any "COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL."

This isn't even going to stop any crimes from happening, for pity sakes regular guns end up in criminal charges all the time, regardless of background check laws. How about some real change and effective measures, rather then virtue-signaling and theater illusion for a constituency?

The Liberator is a completely 3D printed single-shot pistol that can shoot 9mm.

The Washbearis a completely 3D printed revolver.

3D printed ammo is currently in development.

They aren't very practical, but can likely go through metal detectors.

    Except for the firing pins. And the ammo. So it's likely that they actually can't, unless the detectors at the facility in question are so detuned that they'd also allow through razors and small pocketknives.

    Printed bullets would be like firing frozen paintballs at people. Injurious, yes. Deadly, most likely not.
