New York Proposes Doing Background Checks on Anyone Buying a 3D Printer

The new law would treat buying a 3D printer like buying a gun.

Lol.

You don't need a 3d printer to make a gun.

You can also just build a 3d printer from common electronics components.
- Next they'll do a background check every time you buy a stepper motor
  
  Don't be silly. They'll do a background check everytime you buy a magnet.

They got laws on 80% lowers too. Can't get them shipped directly to you. Wonder what they'll do with buying pipes after some rich guy get hit with the Abe special
Please do.

I don't recall 3d printers being a specifically enumerated right.

Should make for one helluva shit show.
