Lmao, “Nothing can be done to prevent this, says only nation where this regularly happens”.

Try and be less American.

Everyone once in a while you really have to stop and gander at just how dumb and cruel of a nation America is.

I’m assuming it’s a combination of the lack of strong public education, combined with a toxically grueling, safety-net free society, that leaves people with no bandwidth to self educate or think things through properly outside of school, but it’s always wild to me the level of dumbness and cruelty that it results in. In other countries people will laugh about the intelligence of the “average” voter etc, but no other nation I’ve been to has had that combination of dumbness and flat out uncaring cruelty at anywhere close to the level that I’ve seen in the US.

If it discourages people from owning guns or getting into guns as a hobby, then it makes society overal safer.

I believe that was Chris Rock: https://youtu.be/VZrFVtmRXrw

Most of the hobbyist 3D printer market is not people who think that building 3D printers is fun and their primary hobby, it’s people who bought them to print other stuff for them.

It’s literally the entire reason Bambu has shot to popularity so fast.

Lol, do you realize that regular 2D printer manufacturers have mandates for embedding codes in the prints so that they can be traced?

Or that Photoshop and photo editing software has mandated counterfeit bill detection features in it?

It doesn’t completely invalidate all of your points, but the idea is not as crazy or unprecedented as a hammer with anti murder technology. Hell even just basic cap guns have to have an orange tip.

As long as gun nuts kept insisting on designing and printing guns, this was inevitably going to happen. Like what the fuck did they think the end result of designing and distributing murder machines online was going to be?? Did they really think everyone, in every jurisdiction and country around the world, was going to agree with their dumbass Republican interpretation of the 2nd amendment?

Thanks gun nuts! You’re obsession with point and click murder machines has now led to this.

Yes, this is why missile defense programs going all the way back to Regan’s “Star Wars” scheme have been controversial.
