Supporters of the bill say it's necessary to thwart convicted felons who use 3D printers to develop untraceable "ghost guns."

I understand the intent, but feel that there are so many other loopholes that put much worse weapons on the street than a printer. Besides, my prints can barely sustain normal use, much less a bullet being fired from them. I would think that this is more of a risk to the person holding the gun than who it’s pointing at.

    From what I understand, given IANAL and don’t own one:

    Background checks: Yes

    Waiting period: no

    Crimes: any felony, or domestic violence charges

    Gun shows: AFAIK that’s never actually been true

    Other: Probably 16 or 18+ but I don’t think there is anything federal

    Explosives: lots of paper, similar to an automatic firearm
