The Big 3D Printers Consortium is going to put a kibosh on that.

No way are they going to let legislature get in the way of their business.

NYC, ever addressing the wrong end of the problem. Someone might want to inform them than building guns at home has always remained legal, even with the illegal laws the federal government has passed.

The Peoples Republic of New York going after 3d printers now? Color me shocked. Shocked I say! /sarcasm

Do you need a background check to buy a gun in NYC?

This would require any 3D printer to need a background check as a trigger guard is part of a gun and could be printed on any 3D printer.

Not really an illegal law but k.

How about just basic gun control laws are put into place?

Lets not stray from the tech aspect of the article, please. Thanks.

You can build 3D printers out of parts acquired from a variety of sources. Conducting background checks on fully assembled 3D printers for sale will have zero impact on ghost guns. The collateral damage that would result from this background check law outweighs any sort of societal benefit.

How about NY treat the root problem for a change? NY needs to stop treating mental health as a taboo subject or unrelated to criminal vs civilian gun crimes. Stop trying to make people feel good or think you're getting something done and actually do something impactful!
