    Also absurd and unconstitutional. You can make a rudimentary gun out of plumbing parts from a hardware store that is at least as effective as a 3d printer, arguably more so if you’re looking at 100% printed parts. Should we run background checks at the register at Home Depot? Should you not be able to buy plumbing if you made some bad decisions and served the time?

    These are all ridiculous laws designed to restrict the liberties of the common man.

        Eh, it is easier to buy one. Besides, if I wouldn’t pass a background check I’d get the gun some other way. As it turns out, criminals care very little about abiding by gun control laws. Just look at the areas with the strictest gun control, they also happen to be the places with the highest rate of gun violence.
