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.

        "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!"

        One of those cuts into the profits of the gun manufacturers. Tell me which has the bigger lobbying group 😅.
