Of course no one will notice, because it's beneficial to certain groups to keep pushing the idea that there's a rampant crime wave and we're in more danger than ever.
NY really wants to pass that law to force background checks for 3d printer purchases.
Unless they do the same for lathes, mills, drills, and pressure piping, seems almost like it's a pointless fucking law designed to have a certain look with no factual basis...
Fuck, I could teach someone how to build their own 3d printer from a mix of cheap ebay parts and off the shelf hardware store shit.
Next they'll make it illegal to have technical documentation on the schematics and models for things arbitrarily deemed "dangerous".
Oh wait....
Yeah thats exactly what I said when I read about it
The fact they wrote out three-dimensional highlights they really have no idea what they're talking about but are trying real hard.
I noticed all these people alive around me the other day. I'm not sure how I feel about it.
This is so sad to see and I hope the United States gets its mojo back as a murder capital of the universe.
This is probably the liberals fault. Everyone should be murdering everyone else, that's the American way.
Don't worry I have arrived

I read that in his voice. The man has a way with words.
Has crime actually gone down, or have homicide rates gone down? Malcolm Gladwell did a great series on his podcast recently that points out that when trauma centers save more lives of GSW victims, the homicide rates go down simply because not as many people die -even though there are just as many bullets hitting humans.
Yes I loved that series as well! I’ve mentioned it before though and Reddit seems to think Gladwell is a scam artist for some reason? He’s just a writer ffs.
Violent crimes have gone down.
Not if the news media has anything to say about it! More at 11.
Probably not since crimes of desperation are on the fall, leaving the really gruesome heinous shit for "if it bleeds it leads" publishers to jump all over.
You might notice coverage of political violence and hate crimes have been on the rise, this ain't because of a journalistic inclination to cover the problems of society, it's because violent crime has fallen enough that hate crimes and political violence are a sizeable chunk of what's left to report on for red journalists.
Malcolm Gladwell talks on his podcast about how U.S. hospitals have made huge strides in preventing gun-related deaths in recent years (except in minority cases where hospitals are too far). We also have very little data on non-death gun-related injuries, making it impossible to say whether crime rates are improving when it comes to guns. The last two episodes in the series explain the crime perception pretty well.
In fact, this post alludes the fact that the number of assaults in the US has been on an increase since 2013. https://www.statista.com/statistics/191231/reported-aggravated-assault-rate-in-the-us-since-1990/
U.S. hospitals have made huge strides in preventing gun-related deaths in recent years
We talking treatment or prevention? The former I assume?
Treatment, which prevents deaths. The number of actual shootings hasn't gone down, only the number of people dying from shootings.
Who is gathering the data and how? Does homicide by crushing financial burden leading to medical crisis count?
Yes the cops, and they are doing their part to pump thise number back up.
Good for America.
Almost like the post covid recovery has kicked in but thats not a benificial perpsective we need to hand over our entire private lives so they can prevwnt such crime
3d printers aren't magic. If you can 3d print it 9/10 you could carve it out of wood. Going to ban carving knifes?
