Comment on Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

  Don’t tempt them. New York cops will already pull over cars crossing the bridges and have been known to fine and/or arrest people for bringing in cigarettes bought out of state.

    Or buying/building a milling machine. Or a lathe. Or a drill, a hacksaw, and some files.

    15 day waiting periods for Home Depot trips. You better plan those plumbing projects in advance.

      Didn’t a guy build an AK-47 from a shovel with basic hand tools?

        He built most of an AK receiver out of a shovel but probably 90% of the gun (by mass) was off the shelf AK parts. And he has decent tools. But it’s still pretty impressive.

        Here’s one of the original threads.. It has cats!

    Wait it is illegal to bring cigarettes across state lines? Is that not a commerce clause issue?

      Tobacco is taxed at the state level. NY©’s tax is very high. Neighboring states’ taxes are lower. Or have been, historically. Thus NY gets unreasonably angry about this if you pay the cig tax to a different state.

      Mostly it’s just a pretense to pull people over and harass them over nothing. But if they can’t get you for anything else they’ve been documented to book individuals for possessing packs of smokes with the wrong tax stamp on them. Got two packs on you? Well, obviously that’s “intent to resell!” Book 'em, boys.

      It is if you’re going to resell them. If they’re for you whatever.

    I think they meant “cross state lines” to buy a 3d printer. That’s a felony for guns but idk what the charge for “possessing an unlicensed 3d printer” would be lol.

        My mistake, I must’ve loaded the page in between your post and delete!

  That’s a myth - It’s a felony offense for gun stores to sell guns to non residents of the state they’re in.

    I am certain he meant buying the 3D printer from out of state.

    Definitely meant 3D printers

    It’s definitely not a myth. I sold guns for Walmart for five years until mid 2022. The only people I couldn’t sell guns to were minors under 21 and residents of California, New York, and Illinois. We accepted IDs from every other state. And sometimes the background check was so quick they were even able to take it home same day.

      You’re either missing something or you were committing a felony then. You can purchase guns in a state you don’t live in, but the gun needs to be sent to an in-state FFL who would make the transfer to you. This way you can’t sidestep your state laws by buying a gun in another state with laxer laws. Don’t take my word for it, here’s the ATF’s explanation.
