The US does not have a ghost gun problem as guns are easy to get here, even in states with restricted gun ownership.

Except this won't stop ghost guns.

3D printed guns kind of suck, if a person wanted to do something bad with a gun they'd be way better off with a manufactured one. Which are trivial to get in the United States. They don't care about the guns at all, much like they don't care about protecting the children. They are very much interested in spying on you (more)

This is just a blatant power grab. Criminals could just import 3D printers without a tracking device or just build their own from scratch

Nope I have zero concerns about "ghost guns" because the people with 3D printers are usually not in poverty, and poverty is the root cause of most crime. And because of how many already manufactured guns are in circulation, it's like a drop in an ocean.

Governor! Quick! This guy just drew two concentric circles! He's about to hit extrude!....

Thanks commissioner! Run the length sentinel program!

He is using push pull technologies! 6mm....8mm...12mm! When will he stop! 5inches? 10? Wait he's bringing it back! It's a wedding ring! 4mm! Call off th....guys? Guys!

Today at 7:38pm Almar Johnson was terminated by our CAD squad protectors of what's good and what's bad to design! Almar leaves a girlfriend and three other friends with us. He was very quickly and painlessly dispatched. That's all we can do these days with those dangerous but quick features.

Tonight, a tale from Long ago in the time when edge breaks, chamfers and corner radii were still fair game put west.....

As someone who makes 3d models that print in multiple parts... There is no way any monitoring-software would know what you are printing unless you are using a file/model that's being used to find people printing that exact model.

But any alternations such as cutting the model up further or changing a few cosmetic features would make the model "unknown."

3d models are much more complicated than a 2d images. and ai can't even tell the difference between a dick and anything flesh colored and long.

Now I'm not dismissing the issue with this type of attempted restriction.

But there is no way it could possibly be enforced.

i wonder how much states or the fed government are gonna charge for the license to print 3d guns.
