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.

It’s crazy how the first thing you did was complain about people with premade talking points rushing to brigade a post, yet you’re in here posting walls of text under everyone who is pointing out the logical inconsistencies of banning unregulated 3d printers but not other hardware related purchases.

Even stranger is, I can’t figure out what you’re upset about. You yourself say that only a tiny fraction of gun violence comes from 3d printed weapons, you say you’re against the bill, so why are you getting hostile and making wild, baseless as hominem attacks against people who think it’s a pointless bill?

It seems like they latched onto the idea that everyone who comments along the lines of “This is a stupid idea.”, secretly intends to say “This is a stupid idea, which is why there shouldn’t be any gun regulation at all.” instead. Needless to say, that’s an insane take and only results in them constructing these giant straw man arguments against people who are most likely on the same side as them.

They sound straight up unhinged lol, someone says they don’t think it’s a good idea and they fly off the handle calling people 300lb gun nuts living in their mom’s basement. It makes me sad because I suspect they probably share a lot of similar views as I do but when they present themselves like this it just makes anyone that’s unsure of their own political stance think everyone is as batshit as this dude.

I have absolutely no idea what point you’re trying to make here since the things before and after your “yet” have nothing to do with each other.

Are you trying to claim I’m brigading with a single account or somehow manipulating votes?

Well that’s on you.

making wild, baseless as hominem attacks

Oh damn I was hoping you didn’t know that you can instantly win any debate by just (almost) saying the names of logical fallacies.

“Ad Hominem” means that someone isn’t inherently wrong just because they’re dogshit. They can both still be wrong and dogshit.

Want to point out exactly where I claimed someone must be wrong because they were a bad person?

I don’t think that’s what anyone was thinking…. Until you said this. Are you brigading with a single account or somehow manipulating votes?

Well, inherently not on the brigading but if you suspect there is voting manipulation going on, by all means dig into it.

My votes are public, the same as any other users. Maybe you could create a site that listed the voting history for each comment? I’m sure the results would be fascinating in every gun related thread.

Yeaaah… I don’t think you’re worth anyone’s time seriously responding to. Lol. Hope you have a good day man.
