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.

The loophole is largely in the matter of enforcement. It is comically easy to evade these regulation or outright ignore them.
