NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer::Requires a criminal history background check for the purchase of a three-dimensional printer capable of creating firearms; prohibits sale to a person who would be disqualified on the basis of criminal history from being granted a license to possess a firearm.
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?
