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.

I honestly can't imagine being so self-absorbed that I felt entitled to choose death for other people.

Of course, it's apologist bullshit anyway, which means you've had a single thought about it and decided "job done".

Most people being murdered in America aren't being killed with that level of premeditation. Someone (usually a man) has a gun on their person or laying around their house, they lose control of their emotions, then they shoot someone.

People don't tend to have a cup of acid in their bedside drawer but in the extremely likely event acid attacks became even a fraction of gun deaths, you have my full support to change the laws to address it.

Because I'm not on a death cult.
