Bill Regulating 3D Printed Guns Announced In NYC

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.'"

Logical Fallacy. It gives you more protection than having NOTHING, except the broken promises of the government protecting you.

You know what else would give you some protection from a tyrannical overreaching government? Landmines, RPGs, and nuclear warheads. Yet there are regulations restricting access to all of those things, despite the fact that the 2nd amendment says very clearly that "the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed" (I read nothing specifically about guns in there). So why is it OK to regulate nuclear warheads but not handguns?

Don't complain when wake up and have no power to stop the government. That is the whole reason for the 2nd Amendment.

Not for nothing, but I think at least part of the reason for the 2nd Amendment was so that, if necessary, you all could form a militia to keep the King of England from messing with your business.
