Technically it’s for any printer capable of printing a firearm or the components of a firearm, which is…. every printer. What a bafflingly stupid proposal. If you’re in NY, please call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill.

Are they going to require background checks for purchasing metal working equipment? Or maybe just make it illegal to bring any metal to melting point without a license.

Because you can make guns with metal.

It just buy a gun third party or at a gun show in a state without background check requirements.

This isn't rocket science.

Ah yes, but then they'll just make it illegal to buy and own 2nd hand stuff.

Very easy to hit your police quotas in a city where everyone is constantly committing crimes through basic commerce.
