guns

I consider myself fairly left of center and I think we should do something about gun violence, but this is not the way to solve it.

• Pretty much every university campus has a 3D printer that can be freely used
• You can just ask your friend to get it for you
• You can go out of state and back
• Well, you can even make your own 3D printer, kids in high schools do it as a STEM project lol

One thing the legislators need to understand is that school shootings are crimes of obsession. A person is so obsessive and delusional about the issue that he's willing to go into excessive lengths to “make things right”. He'll find a way to get ahold of a 3D printer.

If we're talking about gangs though (most shooters don't have prior felonies to background check on), then they'll make the thing about money/scale and just get their plastic guns in other states/over the Internet.

Either way, the bill does more harm than good.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say this bill doesn't do the same for CNC machines despite those being literally how you make actual guns. Fucking NY liberals.

Many consumer 3D printers, especially well-known ones like RepRap's, or Prusa or Voron, are open-source designs made to be assembled from general-purpose pieces. Many people already make them in this way. Whoever came up with this didn't do a basic background check on the tech...

So background checks for all 3d printers in practice.

NY introduces bill to require background checks for any materials capable of creating

We only pulled an Abe once and they’re still so scared by Fallout-like weapons.

drone-dropping lead weights still legal, acme contraptions stay winning

I wonder if this works in reverse? If banned from owning firearms = banned from owning 3d printers,
then having a 3d printer should be an automatic firearm license, yes? of course not because logic don't government

clowns

"Firearms" specifically, huh? Guess zipguns are fine lol

Fine, I'll just 3D print swords then.

You can print drones, does that make people with cheap printers capable of warfare? Lmao Amerikkka is cooked
