    There’s pedophiles roaming the streets and no one can afford healthcare or housing but yeah, lets make useless laws to try and regulate 3d printers…

          Then why did you bring other crimes up? Sorry. But you have no idea how you sound. You directly said “there are these crimes, why are we wasting laws on these other crimes” and wonder why I responded as I did.

            You currently can not fully 3D print a gun

            Even if you could, distinguishing a gun from everything else is impossible. This is more about people using 3D printing for right to repair

              You don’t know it’s impossible. That’s just insane to think that recognition software can tell that a person’s seatbelt is on if that there is someone at their front door with a package or a bicycle means it’s likely possible.

                It literally is impossible. The only thing going to a 3d printer is a series of commands to the the various stepper motors and heating elements what to do. It would have to be capable of reversing this code to reconstruct the object being printed. A printer is not going to have enough processing power to do this if it’s even possible at all.

            My point was their priorities are completely out of wack, and also that this law is useless and shows that they have no idea how 3d printers work so they are wasting time on this to do literally zero good. If the concern is around preventing crime, this is not the way to do it.

              Once again. Two crimes can happen at the same time. Prioritizing it is the authorities job. Not yours.

                That’s why I’m here commenting about it for free on the internet instead of being paid to prioritize things that actually matter over ineffective bullshit.

        Except nobody is being prosecuted for this, in fact the only person that sits in prison, got moved to minimum security one and a pardon is being considered for her.

        Senate just appointed the very person directly responsible for it to head the Department of Justice.

        We are literally being run by pedophiles, or pedophile protectors at best and it couldn’t be any clearer that there are two justice systems.

        When the UH CEO was killed with 3D printed gun I remember being puzzled why trump, trump jr, musk and other members of the Epstein class became vocal about this, to me it seemed like a random murder. Now I understand that to them it was significant because member of their class was killed, this is also why musk was wearing his son as armor, because they were genuinely scared that their class war was firing back.

          Whataboutism at it’s finest. Two crimes can happen at the same time. Just because one crime “matters” and the others don’t according to you, doesn’t mean that they both shouldn’t be enforced or examined.
