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.

    Are they going to require background checks for purchasing metal working equipment? Or maybe just make it illegal to bring any metal to melting point without a license.

    Because you can make guns with metal.

      It just buy a gun third party or at a gun show in a state without background check requirements.

      This isn’t rocket science.

          The loophole is largely in the matter of enforcement. It is comically easy to evade these regulation or outright ignore them.
