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.

Surely it would be much easier to require checks to buy ammunition.

Luigi had no background to check.

This is pure flail.

Again. This bill was introduced last year, by the same person, and it died at the time because of some grassroots actions. Now, the wording is slightly different (so it can be introduced again as a "different" bill), and it's being tried again.

Luigi would have passed a background check.

And didn't even use his own printer (according to his confession/manifesto)..

was it even printed in new york? I mean im sure someone would never bring one in from jersey.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 days ago

Everything is legal in New Jersey.

This is braindead, are they gonna require background checks for the hardware store next?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 5 days ago

Don't forget sporting goods and kitchen supplies. Heck, you can get a bunch of decent knives in IKEA, better put furniture outlets on a watchlist.

  1. FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, "THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER" MEANS A COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL

Well, that's a broad definition. I guess to whomever wrote that, a CNC mill is also a 3d printer.

It's not like inkjets produce 2 dimensional ink. I'd love to see someone argue in court that it's technically impossible to create a non 3d printer

Well achtually........To be pedantic,

A 3D consumer grade printer is not a true 3D tool since it can only move on 2 axis simultaneously. If you watch your printer closely, as it finishes it's path around the xy plane, there is a tiny halt as it changes active plane from the xy plane to xz plane, lifts the nozzle, then flips the active back to the xy to go along it's merry way again to lay down the new layer. And no, the hot new scarf joint is still a single plane movement. Sometimes such machines are incorrectly referred to as 2 1/2 axis because they aren't true 3 axis.

There is vase mode, which lifts the Z axis gradually while printing. This creates one continuous extrusion for the whole print.

That still isn't a true 3D move.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 days ago (1 children)

How so? It literally moves in 3 dimensions at the same time.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 day ago

It only appears so. It's flipping the xz and yz planes only as it hits each quadrant. It just does it really fast. Looking closely at the layer lines will show you it's not a true 3D movement.
