Gonna require background checks to get plumbing supplies or to go to the hardware store? Cause I can make a gun a hell of a lot easier and quicker with that shit, than I can with a 3d fuckin printer.

Oh my god it's back? I was hoping we'd seen the last of it back in 2023.
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?

This video shows the stupidity of new york
"Printed guns" by " tipsy duck"
~~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?!

How about one regarding healthcare affordability? We can deal with 3D printed stuff later?
