Laws restricting printers aren’t about firearms

No I think they are definitely about firearms and how they don't want people printing untraceable Glocks and suppressors and assassinating Our Betters in broad daylight with them.

Don't need a printer to do any of that. it's also faster just to drive to a state that allows gunshow loopholes and buy an otherwise untraceable firearm. takes less skill, too.

All true, but doesn't mean they can't be motivated by a red herring.
