This is an idiotic feel-good bill being pushed by political opportunists who want to look like they're taking action against a flood of illicit plastic guns. In a sane world, it would be shut down before anyone even wasted the time to print it.

WE DO NOT LIVE IN THAT WORLD.



I don't even think plastic guns are very viable as it is, they're pretty shitty guns and this is pretty much a nerd hobby currently.


just wait until some enterprising irresponsibility, starts spreading knowledge of microwave beam weapons, and the associated kit/files.

just as deadly, harder to trace when there is no ballistic evidence, maybe an RF signature that FCC monitors will record.


OK, fine. Can I at least use a resin printer to create printing plates?
