The fun thing about 3d printers is they can print components to make 3d printers which in turn aren't backdoored with regulatory firm-mal-ware.

There are already so many open-source 3D printer designs, and so many 3D printers manufactured outside the US, that trying to regulate them is absurd. (Also: it's still so easy to buy a gun, why would anyone bother 3D printing one?)

I don't get the breadth of the moral panic. How are the files and their distribution a different 1A argument than this book, which doesn't seem to be in question? https://smile.amazon.com/Gunsmithing-Construction-Alteration-Remodeling-Illustrated/dp/1614272379 …

The thing is banning 3D printers will do nothing. Banning guns will just restrict freedom, prevent self defense and cause an increase in homicides.

I fail to see the logic in regulating a tool. That would be like imposing restrictions on injection molding machines, lathes, CNC machines. What next? Cordless drills and screwdrivers? 3D printers are a tool for development, prototyping and art. To include STEAM.
