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.
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.
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.
