- Comment on New California ghost gun lawsuit takes aim at company that sells 3-D printer filament 2 weeks ago:
The 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?

How? Already If you want a above board gun you will just buy actual gun. If you are up to some shady shit or just an enthusiast, you go for 3d printed guns. You can’t effectively enforce this especially in the US unless you ban printers, preferably federally and ban 3d printing as a practice. You can’t effectively scrub the models from the internet, you can’t stop people from printing and you can’t really enforce distribution because everybody with a printer, will and a little knowhow can make their own.
The real news here is the filament company are complete doofuses if they are marketing their high strength filament especially for gun making. That’s just like if OpenAI was marketing their new cutting edge image gen AI model as something meant for making deepfake P*rn of celebrities. One would think that they would cover their asses with more neutral wording and description regarding their product. That is a PR and legal problem bound to happen.

I don’t say it’s impossible. It’s just not worth it 90% of the people, especially for beginners.

Never self host email. It’s way too much of a pain.
- Comment on Sources to purchase mp3s? 1 year ago:
I hope whatever platform you end up using also provides other formats than mp3. Like ogg is superior replacement, or flac for lossless.
