Technically it’s for any printer capable of printing a firearm or the components of a firearm, which is…. every printer. What a bafflingly stupid proposal. If you’re in NY, please call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill.
Luigi had no background to check.
This is pure flail.
Luigi would have passed a background check.
And didn’t even use his own printer (according to his confession/manifesto)…
was it even printed in new york? I mean im sure someone would never bring one in from jersey.
Everything is legal in New Jersey.
Why do you print like you’re running out of time?

new york will do anything but fix actual problems lmao
My guy, you got to look at it from the bigger perspective, the whole country will do anything buy fix actual problems
It fixed congestion.
We’ll see if that sticks, or if annoying rich car people get the reforms repealed. Hochul certainly seems pliable.
Rich car people will take it as the cost of doing business and have the roads to themselves like they wanted.
That’s actually ok. As long as it stops congestion and improves safety. That is the whole point.
- FOR PURPOSES OF THIS SECTION, “THREE-DIMENSIONAL PRINTER” MEANS A COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL
Well, that’s a broad definition. I guess to whomever wrote that, a CNC mill is also a 3d printer.
It’s not like inkjets produce 2 dimensional ink. I’d love to see someone argue in court that it’s technically impossible to create a non 3d printer
I’m pretty sure there are actual industrial multicolor 3d printers that use an inkjet design
Well achtually…To be pedantic,
A 3D consumer grade printer is not a true 3D tool since it can only move on 2 axis simultaneously. If you watch your printer closely, as it finishes it’s path around the xy plane, there is a tiny halt as it changes active plane from the xy plane to xz plane, lifts the nozzle, then flips the active back to the xy to go along it’s merry way again to lay down the new layer. And no, the hot new scarf joint is still a single plane movement. Sometimes such machines are incorrectly referred to as 2 1/2 axis because they aren’t true 3 axis.
Source: I’m an old retired toolmaker. Trust me Bro.
There is vase mode, which lifts the Z axis gradually while printing. This creates one continuous extrusion for the whole print.
That still isn’t a true 3D move.
How so? It literally moves in 3 dimensions at the same time.
It only appears so. It’s flipping the xz and yz planes only as it hits each quadrant. It just does it really fast. Looking closely at the layer lines will show you it’s not a true 3D movement.
At least they’re not defining it as a COMPUTER DRIVEN MACHINE THAT HAS LENGTH, WIDTH, AND DEPTH.
Oh boy can’t wait for them to ban two pipes that fit inside each other and a nail.
What about a bunch of stepper motor and some plastic. Do I need a background check for that?
Well, everyone knows only main boards have a serial number, so you need a permit for that. But the rest is a spare part, you can get it freely.
/s
This is second time they trying to pass this bullshit. 2023 https://www.nysenate.gov/legislation/bills/2023/A8132
Oh don’t worry, there will be a third. And a fourth. And a… Well, more and more until it passes
It only has to pass once
Political hackers.
The people have to be successful every time, but the political hackers have to successful just once.
Again. This bill was introduced last year, by the same person, and it died at the time because of some grassroots actions. Now, the wording is slightly different (so it can be introduced again as a “different” bill), and it’s being tried again.
If you’re european and ask yourself why 3D printed guns are such an issue in the US: It’s not because entire guns are easy to print (or printable at all), It’s because of their idiotic gun laws: in the US, the only controlled part is the receiver or frame, which often enough is made of plastic anyway, while the most important part -the barrel- is freely obtainable.
Germany has a similar law, except that every part of the gun is controlled.
This is braindead, are they gonna require background checks for the hardware store next?
Don’t forget sporting goods and kitchen supplies. Heck, you can get a bunch of decent knives in IKEA, better put furniture outlets on a watchlist.
Or worse, buying guns everywhere?
You literally need ID to purchase silverware in the UK. Yes, they will absolutely do this.
Im making a charcoal foundry. You gonna card me for briquettes bitchboy?
Make a community with a dude that makes potassium and another dude that makes sulfur and then you can really make things go off
You can also technically make a gun with generic plumbing supplies or you could finagle one with random garbage and a drill bit.
Home Depot background checks are next.
You can fuck someone up real good with a 2X4 ( pronounced two be fore ). Yet I haven’t had to pay for a 2x4 ownership license.
You can also really fuck someone up with a big bag of shit…be it actual shit or rocks or concrete or just a bunch of shit from Good will (which could included actual shit). Where do we apply for big bags of shit at the DMB?
“Papers, Please”
and then they use that info to perform a credit check to ensure you’re not a “risk” to let into the store
May I introduce you to TM 31-210?
THIS IS AMERICA! You can’t post stuff like this outside of a classroom!
I am sorry (not), but I am speaking to you from Germany via an Austrian server. So:
Muh freduum of speek!
Did I do this correctly?
You forgot the screaming eagles and the guitar solo. Otherwise, a solid attempt.
Only if you say it louder while licking the boots of the people taking said freedoms away. Also you need to firmly believe that you are the free-est country in the world. Belief in angels is optional for now.
You can’t post stuff like this in a classroom… At least in the south
Uhhh… Hello? How are the kids supposed to live in constant fear of being shot of not reminded that guns can and do exist everywhere?
Trust me, in the south, half of them have guns
The windchimes are not what they seem.
Aww. He just died (David Lynch).
Kinda odd and you can see it in my comments, but yesterday I made a Lynch reference.
Then I talk about David Fincher, but since I always mix those two Davids up I was very consciously not typing Lynch later.
That was all before news went public so needless to say he was on my mind a lot of yesterday. Very Lynchian.
“I have no idea where this will lead us, but I have a definite feeling it will be a place both wonderful and strange“
2 pipes, 1 nail, 1 end cap, 1 12-gauge shell, done.
Yeah, a dude actually made a ton of money during a gun buyback, by making cheap pipe guns. The buyback program had a flat amount as the bare minimum, meant to entice people to turn their firearms in. It was like $200 minimum. He made dozens of $5 single-shot pipe guns, and turned them all in. And since they were technically functioning firearms, the program was forced to pay out.
LOL, and I got downvoted for saying the gun buybacks are stupid. People turn in crappy/broken guns for money to buy a better gun. Hell, I have 3 or 4 I’d ditch. Maybe more if you offered me $200 each.
Are they going to require background checks for purchasing metal working equipment? Or maybe just make it illegal to bring any metal to melting point without a license.
Because you can make guns with metal.
It just buy a gun third party or at a gun show in a state without background check requirements.
This isn’t rocket science.
Ah yes, but then they’ll just make it illegal to buy and own 2nd hand stuff.
Book publishers tried that years ago They lost and the First Sale Doctrine was born
Very easy to hit your police quotas in a city where everyone is constantly committing crimes through basic commerce.
Background checks are a Federal requirement and any transfer requires it go through an FFL for just that reason There is no Gun Show Loophole
The loophole is largely in the matter of enforcement. It is comically easy to evade these regulation or outright ignore them.
Any engineer worth their salt can do this without a 3d printer. Idiots.
Next up, you’re going to have to register your drill press, lathe, etc.
Anything to avoid having to actually address the systemic poverty and bigotry ingrained in the system that leads to violence…
From what I understand the “problem” as it’s being framed in terms of ghost guns and inner city crime or whatever the buzzword is this year is not hobbyists running off a lower or frame for themselves. None of those guys in the hood and their switches are buying Bambus or building Vorons and suddenly turning into 3D printing gurus – Someone, or several someones more likely, are deliberately mass manufacturing these things for sale to the criminals which is already thoroughly illegal. Find the gun runners and stomp on them. I thought you guys were supposed to have this big scary police force and surveillance apparatus?
I’m a hobbyist 3D printer and I can barely get my minis to print half decently, never mind a functional firearm
California is cracking down hard on ghost guns right now… Its super important in LA. Its gotta be the single most biggest issue they are dealing with right at the very moment.
Ah. So I suppose that means California has successfully solved the skyrocketing cost of living and inflation, drought, rampant homelessness, and uncontrollable wildfires?
What do you mean fire? It’s ghost guns running the show! Lol…not lol. More like WTF?
It’s mostly a bunch of little hood gunsmiths, making them and selling them to customers. It’s literally the gun equivalent of an attic full of weed plants.
