This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
lmao could you even make a usable firearm with a 3D printer?
Even if you used the best quality material, it would probably explode on the first shot making its aim useless and probably a danger to the user.
Also why not do a background check for idk maybe the gunpowder lol.
You can! There's a pretty big community for 3D printed guns. Interesting Vice doc on it: https://youtu.be/C4dBuPJ9p7A?si=NjWH8-4bB0dEGIjH
Oh wow, I didn't think plastic could be viable.
brb gonna 3d print a tank lmao
A lot of guns use some type of plastic somewhere, there are metal parts and polymer parts. You’re going to want metal for the areas under pressure but everything else can be whatever.
You can make a shotgun with a nail and pipe from a hardware store. It won’t be very good, but it can fire shot.

Just go into jersey or any surrounding staye and buy the printer and head back to New york
Or just buy some steppers, cabling, and 8020. Is NY going to be regulating those too? Are they going to require serialized hotends?
It's ok, you can still buy them privately at a 3D printer show.
You can technically also 3D print a 3D printer.
Welp I guess I'll have to rely on the black market from now on.
Oh, did we start requiring criminal background checks for pipes and metal stock too? This is the same problem we’re facing in the rest of the country, everything can be used as a weapon, and requiring background checks on all of them is gonna do nothing to stop gun crime. Regulate the damn guns, that is the only thing that will help.
