Be honest. What percentage of gun crimes do you think 3D printed guns are?

[–] Hawanja@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Probably zero.
I just like the idea of there being less guns on the street.
I also like the idea of access to guns being highly regulated.

I don't disagree with you.

But this type of law is the exact same as the age verification laws.

There's a plausible sounding risk, but if you dig deeper it's always the government reducing freedoms in a way that doesn't really help the stated goals.

325 3d printed guns were seized in 2024. That's a drop in the ocean.

What's wrong with age verification laws, exactly?

[–] village604@adultswim.fan 3 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

They sell it as wanting to protect children, but what they really want is to be able to track everything you do on your device, because the verification will happen at the OS level.

It's something that sounds sensible at first. Of course it would be great to be able to prevent children from going certain places online and interacting with predators.

But what's actually happening is everyone is sacrificing their right to privacy for pretty much nothing, because anyone determined enough can get around any safety measure. And both kids and criminals excel at creativity getting around blocks.

Not to mention that a lot of the verification happens through private companies, who shouldn't be trusted with it.

Oh, I thought this was age verification to buy a firearm. But you mean age verification laws for online pornography.
Yeah fuck that shit.

Ah, duh on my part. I should have specified.
