If it’s so unenforceable, why isn’t it an issue in other countries? Even ones that have nearly the same number of guns as America? 🤔
Comment on New California ghost gun lawsuit takes aim at company that sells 3-D printer filament
Korkki@lemmy.ml 1 day agoThe legal system has tons of options at their disposal. Going after filament manufacturers is like going after black powder suppliers.
Nor arguing that this isn’t removed.
The same way that they enforce other crimes.
Yeah and the point was that there is no practical way to do that. It’s much harder to control these things than just regular stolen, misplaced or otherwise illegally acquired guns. You cant use deterrence when you are speaking about a tool that you are just going to use to commit crimes that are are going the be more severe that just an illegal firearms possession. Ofc everybody who are above board and law abiding will stop even thinking about 3d printer firearms. However if somebody is considering murder you think they care if they potentially get +5 years added to their sentence if they do it with self printed weapon instead of regular firearm?

You still have to buy bullets.

Yes, that’s how the system works today. Your sentencing is affected by specifics of your crime.
It’s not really a deterrent. Murderers are gonna murder. I lived above one and they murdered with a pillow and telephone cable. I also sat on a trial that put a murderer away. Their circumstances affected their sentencing drastically.
