NY State Assembly Bill 2025-A2228

www.nysenate.gov

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.

Technically it’s for any printer capable of printing a firearm or the components of a firearm, which is…. every printer. What a bafflingly stupid proposal. If you’re in NY, please call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill.

my granny got one in a Walmart parking lot so it can’t be that hard.
Still don’t know how that even happens.

  Well, maybe that’s your (US&A) problem, not 3d printers ;)
