Bill Regulating 3D Printed Guns Announced In NYC

Posted by timothy on from the more-equal-animals dept.

New submitter BioTitan writes "New York City may be the first state to crack down on 3D printed guns. Two pieces of legislation were introduced on June 13, one in the City Council that only allows licensed gunsmiths to print the guns, and another in the State Assembly that would make it illegal for anyone to print a gun. Cody Wilson, creator of the first 3D printed guns, and founder of Defense Distributed, told The Epoch Times, 'Such legislation is a deprivation of equal protection and works in clear ignorance of Title I and II of U.S. gun laws.'"

    They will be laughing on the other sides of their faces when Obama's storm troopers round them up and ship them to a FEMA camp.

    Why should I worry? It's not like the government is tracking every website I visit and every person I talk to, how would they know if I've even downloaded this liberator gun, much less made one?

    (oh wait...)

    "New York City may be the first state"? Thats like watching a game show where the contestant is asked for a country in Europe that is fancy and them saying London or Paris.

    Good thing that the terr'ists won't be able to print 3D guns now, then, thanks to this law.
