Silly. Why can't we just regulated the sale of ammunition and gunpowder?

Why? It’s not guns and bullets killing people, it’s 3D printing 🙃

We do actually. Just last year new york passed the Concealed Carry Improvement act imposing a background check on ammunition purchases. This bill is completely redundant and unnecessary.

Or at least the gun parts needed to make a "3d printed" gun actually function as a firearm.
