Technically it’s for any printer capable of printing a firearm or the components of a firearm, which is…. every printer. What a bafflingly stupid proposal. If you’re in NY, please call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill.

Awful. Literally banning science, because it can be misused.

We'd better go the full mile. Here's my list of things to be banned, For Our Safety^TM^:

  • 3/4" and 1" galvanized steel pipe and endcaps
  • Cases of matches
  • Acetone
  • Stump killer
  • Milling machines
  • Lathes
  • Drill presses
  • Hydrogen peroxide
  • Salt, Sodium Chloride
  • Stainless steel bolts
  • Benchtop power supplies
  • Sulfur
  • Carbon
  • Water
  • Aluminum foil

I'm sure I can think of others if you give me a minute or two.

Iron rust. Can be used with the aluminum you included to produce thermite.
