Want a 3D printer in New York? Get ready for fingerprinting and a 15 day wait (www.nysenate.gov)

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?

How is that going to work? You can buy printers piecemeal all the way down to the belts, rails, and structural parts. There are complete BOMs online for free. Or you can buy from alibaba or banggood or something who probably won't declare it properly.

I guess they will get a punishment if discovered. Duh.

Of course the actual illegal users aren't going to register shit. But you can punish them harder when you find them.

To be clear I am very much against this considering I own a 3D printer myself and I am a reasonable person.

Same way it works with high cap mags. Drive across the state line buy it and drive back.
