NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer::Requires a criminal history background check for the purchase of a three-dimensional printer capable of creating firearms; prohibits sale to a person who would be disqualified on the basis of criminal history from being granted a license to possess a firearm.
I’m a leftist, I don’t support laws like this cause they don’t actually do anything. Dems fr have been supporting initivies to fork over more and more data.
Here’s a fun fact, hobby machinists have been making guns in their garages for as long as machining has been a career.
You can, right now, buy a drill press for a few hundred bucks and finish 80% lowers in an apartment if you want. If you have a lot of money to spend you could buy a mini mill and make the job a lot easier.
These are completely unregulated and arguably much more dangerous.
Have fun with that knowledge.
And I can’t even remember the last time a crime was committed with a made-at-home gun. We’re really going after the people that commit all the violence. 🙄
It’s such an easy window into the fact that it’s about cutting the access to weapons of the population who might use them to fight back against government action. They dgaf if we murder each other, they just don’t want us murdering them.
Same principle applies to the frequent attempts to ban semi-auto rifles, when rifles account for 3% or less of all homicides annually.
Those kind of weapons are effective for defending / attacking a moderate sized area, unlike pistols and bolt-action rifles. Pistols are short range and bolt-action rifles are slow. It’s obviously about the power that they don’t want the people to have.
