Oh boy can’t wait for them to ban two pipes that fit inside each other and a nail.

Luigi had no background to check.
This is pure flail.
Printcrime was not an instruction manual.
Politicians are such profoundly unserious people.
Lol, I built a 3d printer with a 3d printer.
What about a bunch of stepper motor and some plastic. Do I need a background check for that?
Well, everyone knows only main boards have a serial number, so you need a permit for that. But the rest is a spare part, you can get it freely.

This is second time they trying to pass this bullshit. 2023 https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/A8132
Oh don't worry, there will be a third. And a fourth. And a... Well, more and more until it passes
It only has to pass once
new york will do anything but fix actual problems lmao
It fixed congestion.
We'll see if that sticks, or if annoying rich car people get the reforms repealed. Hochul certainly seems pliable.
Rich car people will take it as the cost of doing business and have the roads to themselves like they wanted.
This is braindead, are they gonna require background checks for the hardware store next?
Don't forget sporting goods and kitchen supplies. Heck, you can get a bunch of decent knives in IKEA, better put furniture outlets on a watchlist.
Or worse, buying guns everywhere?
Any engineer worth their salt can do this without a 3d printer. Idiots.
Next up, you’re going to have to register your drill press, lathe, etc.
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.

Tell us your corporate paymasters are afraid without saying they're afraid.
Someone go ahead and trademark the term "ghost printer."
I built my own, so I guess stepper motors and heating elements should also be under the law.
Some actual gun control laws would be better, not to mention universal health care. What’s next on the list? Kitchen knives? Pans, pots? ;)
I grew up in NY. The gun control laws were draconian 45 years ago. I can't imagine they have become more lax since I departed the state 30 years ago.
Doesn’t really matter if you can buy a gun in another state.
Thos is Canada’s and Mexico’s problem
What I mean is a bordering US state, not another country. I don’t think Canada has the same problem with guns as you guys do.
The USA is a bordering state to us
It’s where the illegal guns in both nation-states come from

"Printed guns" by " tipsy duck"
How much harder would it be than getting an actual gun?
Road trip to Georgia and back, basically.
Just FYI, you can't buy a firearm at a dealer outside of your home state without having it shipped to an FFL holder in your home state. E.g., I can't drive to Family Firearms in Alabama from Georgia--where i live--to buy a gun. I have to order from them, and then have it shipped to an FFL near me, and then fill out the paperwork in my own state. In states that allow private, p2p sales (which is most of them), you could buy a firearm with cash from an individual, and they'd never do a background check or fill out a 4473.
