Idiots.
lmao could you even make a usable firearm with a 3D printer?
Even if you used the best quality material, it would probably explode on the first shot making its aim useless and probably a danger to the user.
Also why not do a background check for idk maybe the gunpowder lol.
You can! There's a pretty big community for 3D printed guns. Interesting Vice doc on it: https://youtu.be/C4dBuPJ9p7A?si=NjWH8-4bB0dEGIjH
Oh wow, I didn't think plastic could be viable.
brb gonna 3d print a tank lmao
A lot of guns use some type of plastic somewhere, there are metal parts and polymer parts. You’re going to want metal for the areas under pressure but everything else can be whatever.
You can make a shotgun with a nail and pipe from a hardware store. It won’t be very good, but it can fire shot.

Can't stop the signal.
Just go into jersey or any surrounding staye and buy the printer and head back to New york
Or just buy some steppers, cabling, and 8020. Is NY going to be regulating those too? Are they going to require serialized hotends?
Welp I guess I'll have to rely on the black market from now on.
Oh dear, this new law will hit a lot of US "politicians"
