How do they plan to run a background check before I click the "buy" button?
lmao could you even make a usable firearm with a 3D printer?
Even if you used the best quality material, it would probably explode on the first shot making its aim useless and probably a danger to the user.
Also why not do a background check for idk maybe the gunpowder lol.
You can! There's a pretty big community for 3D printed guns. Interesting Vice doc on it: https://youtu.be/C4dBuPJ9p7A?si=NjWH8-4bB0dEGIjH

Can't stop the signal.
Just go into jersey or any surrounding staye and buy the printer and head back to New york
Or just buy some steppers, cabling, and 8020. Is NY going to be regulating those too? Are they going to require serialized hotends?
Welp I guess I'll have to rely on the black market from now on.
