NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer::Requires a criminal history background check for the purchase of a three-dimensional printer capable of creating firearms; prohibits sale to a person who would be disqualified on the basis of criminal history from being granted a license to possess a firearm.
The point of a fully printed gun would be a zip gun mostly. One shot up close to steal a real gun from a better equipped force. Same with a pipe gun. They’re for upgrading.
Okay, so you should be able to provide plenty of examples of this happening then right?
Why would I? If you knew what a zip gun was for you’d realize how ignorant that question is.
Regardless, here’s a historical zip.
I think Japan had a recent situation with a hand made firearm as well.
Okay, so not how criminals and terrorists get their guns, because they just walk into a shop and buy them.
lol only the right wing extremist terrorists in the US do it that way, everyone else has to go black market.
Sure, especially considering they said fully printed – no pre-made firearm components.
The FP-45 Liberator pistol and the CIA’s Deer Gun are “real” guns designed for that exact purpose: to kill someone at close range to steal their gun. The first “successful” 3d printed gun was the Defense Distributed Liberator, followed by a plethora of single shot “zip guns” of the same type.
So … a bunch of 3d printed guns specifically copied from the concept of the FP-45 and Deer Gun.
I fixed your link. I wouldn’t want people missing out on that “Usage” section.
Thanks though, I’ve bookmarked it for when people claim that gun restrictions are pointless because of 3D printers.
