Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait

Assembly Bill A8132 has been assigned a "Same As" bill in the Senate: S8586 [NYSenate.gov] [A8132 - 2023]

I don't own a gun, I never have and I don't plan to at any time in the future. But if these pass in the NYS Senate and Congress, it would be required to submit fingerprints for a background check then wait 15 days, before you could own any "COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL."

This isn't even going to stop any crimes from happening, for pity sakes regular guns end up in criminal charges all the time, regardless of background check laws. How about some real change and effective measures, rather then virtue-signaling and theater illusion for a constituency?

"COMPUTER OR COMPUTER-DRIVEN MACHINE OR DEVICE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT FROM A DIGITAL MODEL."

I can print an origami pattern on my inkjet using my cell phone...

"Any 3d printer capable of printing a gun" seems pretty broad but wouldn't 3d print kits get around this easily. Like if I buy a prusa MK4 it can print gun parts out of the box but a pile of prusa mk4 parts ain't printing shit.

From a digital model

Get ready for analog printing, boys.

Also, if I move to New York, what then? I have to keep it in PA for two weeks?

I think the reason is because legislators are looking for gun restrictions that can pass, and the combination of legislative obstruction and the Supreme Courts recent ruling against pretty much any gun law written after 1860 or something has basically made it impossible to regulate the purchase of actual guns. So now they're looking for whatever law they can pass regardless of whether it makes sense.

It's fucked up.

This bill would require literally every single commercial machinist in the state to also register as they qualify under such broad wording. That's fucking retarded and every single manufacturing company left (what few there may be) will fight this tooth and nail.

[–] [email protected] 80 points 10 months ago (8 children)

As usual, I have to wonder first if anyone actually put any thought into this, and further if anyone thought how the fuck they're going to enforce it. This is just manufacturing one step removed... Anyone willing to make a gun with a 3D printer is certainly capable and willing of building their own 3D printer as well.

Or buying/building a milling machine. Or a lathe. Or a drill, a hacksaw, and some files.

Down this road lies madness.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago (10 children)

Or even better, just going across the state line and buying one.

Don't tempt them. New York cops will already pull over cars crossing the bridges and have been known to fine and/or arrest people for bringing in cigarettes bought out of state.

God forbid this passes and then they track you leaving the Microcenter in Paterson, NJ. They'll probably call in a SWAT team and a helicopter.
