      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.

                  It doesn’t in some niche and limited capabilities. That’s like saying some hot rods don’t have to run gasoline. Sure. There are some with electric motors and they can keep up. But they have drawbacks.

        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.
