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.

Some actual gun control laws would be better, not to mention universal health care. What’s next on the list? Kitchen knives? Pans, pots? ;)

I grew up in NY. The gun control laws were draconian 45 years ago. I can't imagine they have become more lax since I departed the state 30 years ago.

Doesn’t really matter if you can buy a gun in another state.

Have you ever tried? You can't. FFL dealers cannot sell to residents of another state. If you want to buy out of state, they have to ship the firearm to an FFL dealer in your state to perform the sale. They can't give it to you or ship it to you.

If they are licensed in your state and another state, and you purchase the gun in the other state, they have to follow the rules of your state.

Thos is Canada’s and Mexico’s problem

What I mean is a bordering US state, not another country. I don’t think Canada has the same problem with guns as you guys do.

The USA is a bordering state to us

It’s where the illegal guns in both nation-states come from
