Technically it’s for any printer capable of printing a firearm or the components of a firearm, which is…. every printer. What a bafflingly stupid proposal. If you’re in NY, please call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill.

This is absolutely the best action we could take to address the gun violence problem.

Tighten background checks for guns: ✋ Tighten background checks for 3d printers: 👀

"People are 3d printing guns, should we require background checks on the required barrels/trigger mechanisms/ammo/magazines/rails etc?

No! We should require checks on the universal machine that can among a billion other things manufacture the plastic parts!"

~~Keep in mind that this is a state that bans nunchuks.~~

Never mind, NY banned nunchuks in 1974 but then in 2018 a federal court decided that New Yorkers have a 2nd amendment right to nunchuks.

Maybe there's a constitutional right to keep and bear 3D printers too? If your life is in danger, you can use the concealed printer you're carrying to make a gun and then defend yourself with that gun.

Don't worry, my state considers throwing stars to be "assault weapons" now and their sale and possession is banned. There's still stupidity abound if you care to look hard enough.

their sale and possession is banned

How will I assassinate the Shogun now?!

You'll have to use your blowgun. Those are still unregulated.

Shoot one CEO in NYC and the entire state goes nuts.
