All Australian states and territories ban 3D guns, but only some jurisdictions like New South Wales, Western Australia and Tasmania make it an offence to possess blueprints.

Experts are calling for retailers to play a greater role in choking the supply of 3D-printed guns in the wake of the Bondi shooting

Gun control groups are pushing for more laws that ban the importation of 3D printers if they do not have pre-installed software blocking firearm parts from being manufactured

Retailers offering 3D printers or 3D printing services would report customers suspected of building 3D-printed guns to the authorities under fresh calls for corporate Australia to play a role in thwarting access to the deadly weapons

The Democrat's actions in America make less sense because of the second amendment and per-state gun laws.

While they make no sense logically, it does make sense from an authoritarian standpoint, disarm the populace so when we do things they do not like, they are unable to do anything to stop us. If they do stand up for their people and livelihood they will be subjected to the absolute full force of the state pressing down upon them.
