This is so stupid.

My understanding is that you can’t make a gun from 100% 3D printed plastic parts. Why don’t you just regulate those final parts makers?

You can if you want to blow your hand off. A 3D printer is just a tool of gun smithing. This is like banning circular saws or nail guns.

anyone else planning on flooding this new "system" with garbage data?

don't try to ddos it, just make it prohibitively expensive.

you know those dumb fucks will use AI to do it.

Are they cracking down on 85% receivers? I mean those pose a much bigger risk

[–] TIEPilot@lemmy.world 2 points 3 months ago

85% is a firearm, 80% is a fancy paperweight. No DVs from me just want to keep everyone straight on the law

/source: me I make 80% guns from time to time, next is a Glock 19
