NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer::Requires a criminal history background check for the purchase of a three-dimensional printer capable of creating firearms; prohibits sale to a person who would be disqualified on the basis of criminal history from being granted a license to possess a firearm.
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.
US: We have a gun problem.
Also, US: We’ve tried everything but regulate guns and we’re all out of ideas!

Lol, are you insane? I’m not against better controls, but if you think the US is lacking in gun control laws and regulations you are sorely mistaken.
No you don’t understand. The pro-gun community would support a solution, it just needs to be instantly and 100% effective without inconveniencing a single gun owner or costing anything.
It’s a completely reasonable position and not at all just an excuse to do nothing.
Maybe the answer is that every single human being should own a gun and carry it every single place they go 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.
Where do I put it when I’m showering tho?
on the sink right next to the shower would be my guess.
You could do what that one guy did and put one in a piece of Tupperware mounted to the shower wall.
What if my dog gets it? I need a waterproof holster. Or a condom.
Isn’t it just fascinating how all the solutions proposed by gun owners and Republican politicians just happen to coincide with what’s most profitable for the gun lobby?
But I’m sure people who manufacture guns are much more moral than the tobacco industry, oil industry, sugar industry, asbestos industry and all those other groups that got caught putting profits before people’s lives.
America isn’t the only country in the world with hardware stores yet is still the only country in the world with weekly mass shootings – 80% of which use legally purchased firearms and 0% of which use home made guns.

Oh I’m sorry, they’ve been used in three mass shootings since 2013, which is almost 0.01% of mass shootings in that period. How terribly misleading of my propaganda.
Practically neck and neck with the 80% that use legally purchased firearms and the 10% that use the legally purchased and poorly secured firearm of a family member.

“The important thing is that no gun owners were mildly inconvenienced”
- Thousands of dead school children, executed partners and victims of crime
You’re getting downvoted to shit on most of your comments but just wanted to say you are not wrong.
Except comments where I use a % – those still have a conspicuously positive score. I wonder if someone’s sleazy tools are being thrown off by it?
