Comment on NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer

  I’m against it because I know the pro-gun claim of “fixing deeply flawed gun laws is pointless because people will just 3D print guns” is a lie.

  Should it one day come true, I’d reconsider my position.

  But it hasn’t come true anywhere else in the world, nor have any other pro-gun promises come true in the last 20 years.

    The point of a fully printed gun would be a zip gun mostly. One shot up close to steal a real gun from a better equipped force. Same with a pipe gun. They’re for upgrading.

      Okay, so you should be able to provide plenty of examples of this happening then right?

        Why would I? If you knew what a zip gun was for you’d realize how ignorant that question is.

        Regardless, here’s a historical zip.
