The new law would treat buying a 3D printer like buying a gun.

Lol.

You don't need a 3d printer to make a gun.

You can also just build a 3d printer from common electronics components.

Next they'll do a background check every time you buy a stepper motor

Don't be silly. They'll do a background check everytime you buy a magnet.

Sorry honey, I couldn't get you the Dora The Explorer fridge magnet; the man at the counter said I'd have to fill out 3 federal clearance forms and wait 4-6 weeks for them to get back to me.

They got laws on 80% lowers too. Can't get them shipped directly to you. Wonder what they'll do with buying pipes after some rich guy get hit with the Abe special

Please do.

I don't recall 3d printers being a specifically enumerated right.

Should make for one helluva shit show.
