Can we get the names of these people so we can have their drivers licenses taken away?

Impossible. The only actual discourse I think they have is to either ban 3d printers outright, require that filament/resin etc designed for these is made somehow traceable, or license and/or registrate the purchase and/or used of the printers/filaments.
Maybe the dumbest possible idea here from government regulators. You think you're going to somehow legislate certain geometry out of existence? "Sorry, you can't print that ILLEGAL SHAPE with the printer you own!" Same vacant headed assholes that think they can ban encryption. Fuck off, shrivel up and perish, please.
Yeah good luck with that fuckheads
Trying to stop a printer from printing sounds like a tough ask.
Maybe they can partner with Epson or Brother, they're pretty good at keeping their printers from printing
Those are angels compared to HP
wootwoot 3d printing mentioned 😎
Prop guns for cosplay gonna get a lot more difficult for now reason if this passes.
Exactly what I was thinking. It's really funny if you think about it. There are currently more guns in the US than there are people. I guess they will combat this by limiting 3d printing.
Was there a shooting with a printed firearm recently?
This isn't really about safety, it's about gun manufacturer profits.
Like how machine gun owners don’t support the repeal of the nfa or fopa because it would tank the value of their stamp items.
not sure but I heard they recently caught the FGC-9 designer
EDIT found the story: https://news.sky.com/story/jacob-duygu-incel-who-mysteriously-died-unmasked-as-creator-of-worlds-most-popular-3d-printed-gun-12997178
Irrelevant: the goal is not preventing shootings (I mean, they would go for the obvious solution otherwise)
Somebody needs to be seen doing something before the next election.
Incidentally, 3d printed parts aren't used for conversion kits. They're machined out of metal stock (and occasionally re-machined original parts).
From what I have seen 3d printing is used to create the exterior of the gun. The functional firing parts such as the barrel are made out of machined metal
That squares with the greyprints I've looked at. However, the article specifically talks about conversion kits.
I built my own 3d printer 👉 👈
3d printing 3d printing machine. infinite money hax O.o?
No infinite money sink. Started by printed some upgrades for my printer, now i suddenly have 3 that can waste plastic at significantly higher speeds.
