There's pedophiles roaming the streets and no one can afford healthcare or housing but yeah, lets make useless laws to try and regulate 3d printers....

    Two crimes can happen at once in different places

    This isn't going to do anything about crime.

    Then why did you bring other crimes up? Sorry. But you have no idea how you sound. You directly said "there are these crimes, why are we wasting laws on these other crimes" and wonder why I responded as I did.

    You currently can not fully 3D print a gun

    Even if you could, distinguishing a gun from everything else is impossible. This is more about people using 3D printing for right to repair

    You don't know it's impossible. That's just insane to think that recognition software can tell that a person's seatbelt is on if that there is someone at their front door with a package or a bicycle means it's likely possible.

    It literally is impossible. The only thing going to a 3d printer is a series of commands to the the various stepper motors and heating elements what to do. It would have to be capable of reversing this code to reconstruct the object being printed. A printer is not going to have enough processing power to do this if it's even possible at all.

    The computer it's connected to does

    A 3d printer does not have to be connected to a PC at all to function.

    It doesn't in some niche and limited capabilities. That's like saying some hot rods don't have to run gasoline. Sure. There are some with electric motors and they can keep up. But they have drawbacks.

    It's not a niche capability. You load the instructions onto an SD card and plug it into the printer. Every one I've used is capable of this and for many it's the preferred way of operating. If you don't know what you're talking about just stop.

    And how do you load information on that SD? Computers. Stop being a dick and acting like somewhere in the chain it can't be checked. You won't admit you're wrong and it shows me you're a fuckin idiot.

    There's no special software required to copy the files onto the SD card that would necessitate a check. You can download files that were sliced by other people, you can still use a slicer from 10 years ago and it will work just fine, you can create your own models that have never been in their database, you can build your own 3d printer from the ground up, this law is unenforcable.

    And what file types does it use? What is the shell written as? There are many ways to enforce it, it's laughable.

    Pay me. I'm not employed by you or the state. I'm available for 200k a year. I'll solve your simple problem.

    Lmfao. So you don't know shit and you've been talking out your ass this whole time. Maybe you should spend some time educating yourself instead of licking boots.

    Listen here you little moron. I don't work for free and you are starting to annoy me and show everyone how fuckin stupid you are. There are ways to trace ANYTHING produced on a computer. It goes from a computer to any media. It's not a hard leap. And if you want to talk tough I can give you my address and you can come say it to my face and see how far that gets you. Fuckin idiot.

    My point was their priorities are completely out of wack, and also that this law is useless and shows that they have no idea how 3d printers work so they are wasting time on this to do literally zero good. If the concern is around preventing crime, this is not the way to do it.

    Except nobody is being prosecuted for this, in fact the only person that sits in prison, got moved to minimum security one and a pardon is being considered for her.

    Senate just appointed the very person directly responsible for it to head the Department of Justice.

    We are literally being run by pedophiles, or pedophile protectors at best and it couldn't be any clearer that there are two justice systems.

    When the UH CEO was killed with 3D printed gun I remember being puzzled why trump, trump jr, musk and other members of the Epstein class became vocal about this, to me it seemed like a random murder. Now I understand that to them it was significant because member of their class was killed, this is also why musk was wearing his son as armor, because they were genuinely scared that their class war was firing back.

    Whataboutism at it's finest. Two crimes can happen at the same time. Just because one crime "matters" and the others don't according to you, doesn't mean that they both shouldn't be enforced or examined.
