I understand the intent, but feel that there are so many other loopholes that put much worse weapons on the street than a printer. Besides, my prints can barely sustain normal use, much less a bullet being fired from them. I would think that this is more of a risk to the person holding the gun than who it’s pointing at.
Guns are not the problem people are the problem. People do stupid shit and hurt others. Its all mental heath related but no politicians want to touch mental heath with a 10 foot pole every mass shooting has been from somebody mentally unwell. Guns are like cars, when used correctly they help the people using it and people around them protecting against criminals that illegally got guns and other illegal acts. Also if you don’t believe me on that look at south side of new York and Chicago Illinois. They both have large death counts do to gun violents. But the crazy part is guns have heavily restrictions especially in Illinois. But the criminals still get illegal firearms. And just like a car if used incorrectly can kill and hurt people.
That’s because the underlying causes of the poor mental health are things like inequality, consumerism, and car dependency (not just the burdensome cost, frustration of wasting time in traffic, and poor health from lack of exercise, but also the direct harm to mental health from replacing third places with non-places). Since pretty much all the politicians (of either party) are full steam ahead on the crony-capitalism train, of course they have no interest in solving any of those.
