What if you 3d print a 3d printer?
Down right idiotic. I’m all for some better gun control, but this is just a stupid idea.
If Texas wants to put a bounty on women, we should be able to put a bounty on guns. It’d be a lot more effective too.
I’ll never understand why we just can’t do the exact same things as Republicans do thats within the letter of the law (hopefully spirit-ish but letter is the main concern)
Illegal migrants employed? Texas bounty
Illegal guns possession or production? Texas bounty
Abuse of religious tax exemption or religious political activism? Texas bounty
Seperation of church and state violations? Texas bounty
Get the direct witnesses to trash some scratch for the trouble and watch the streets clean themselves
Something Chuck Norris could support….
Republicans literally hunting women
Liberals: “if only we could disarm women, things would be better.”
as a non-American, do I even dare ask what you’re talking about?
A while back some Texas lawmakers wanted to offer a reward for turning in women seeking out of state abortions. I think that’s what the commenter is referring to.
They did actually pass that law.
Oh right that. Some of Y’all are nuts.
Damn it’s been a long time since I’ve had to use the whole thing:
Rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off.
Now available as a .stl file!
Lol, most of this crap is DIY, good luck with that
I see 10,000 forks in the near future, and fully decentralized ways of hosting them. God forbid we actually try to regulate real guns, no it’s those damn hobbyists who spent thousands on printers!
Removed by mod
Worst thing is, with any systemic rule change, the change js not instant. Allowing something like that would wither cause a spike up in crimes, or we’d feel it down the line. On the other hand, banning them doesn’t make sense, either.
Yes, because it’s so difficult to get a gun in America any other way /s
Probably the gun industry lobbying for this 🫢
Good luck with that given 3D printers are full of open-source software.
Don’t bring that to their attention- they’ll start banning open source too.
POLICE, HE RELEASED HIS SOFTWARE FREE FOR ANYONE TO USE, SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT
Death by being SWATed after a Github commit.
git commit crime
Are they going to require government monitors if you own a CNC machine next?
Ban pipes when?
It wouldn’t surprise me if somebody tried to get such a thing passed in a couple of years.
Can we get the names of these people so we can have their drivers licenses taken away?
Impossible. The only actual discourse I think they have is to either ban 3d printers outright, require that filament/resin etc designed for these is made somehow traceable, or license and/or registrate the purchase and/or used of the printers/filaments.
If they could do this, it would be a good idea. It’s just not possible.
Yeah good luck with that fuckheads
They can explore the requirement, but they will get lost during their expedition.
Never stopped them before from still passing half-assed laws.
And those half-assed laws make great pretext laws.
“That guy has a 3d printer! He might be fabbing ghost guns!”
Maybe the dumbest possible idea here from government regulators. You think you’re going to somehow legislate certain geometry out of existence? “Sorry, you can’t print that ILLEGAL SHAPE with the printer you own!” Same vacant headed assholes that think they can ban encryption. Fuck off, shrivel up and perish, please.
