I dunno why they don't just outlaw manufacturing your own firearms without a license...
They would prefer to outlaw manufacturing anything without paying rent seekers.
Seems that way. Next up is licensing fees for printing certain models. Basically they'd like to get as far as when Picard says "Tea, Earl Grey, hot" the replicator says "Brought to you by Lipton. Taste good, feel good. You have 49 remaining replicator credits."
The don’t want to send a case to the Supreme Court that would rule on the side of homemade firearms.
It'd probably be wildly unconstitutional?
Donald Trump holding government office in USA is wildly unconstitutional too.
Nothing in the Constitution about who can or can't construct firearms. Not that anyone cares about The Constitution anymore.
