That's an ancient document written by people who couldn't even concieve of modern day "assualt" style printers. We need common sense 3D printer control. There is no reason any person would ever need more than 4kg of filament, these high capacity fast manufacturing printers pose a threat to our society.
Should we just let anyone who wants to buy a 3D printer? What if they do bad things with it? What if they print weapons? I don't think we should allow just any person out there to be able to purchase a 3D printer and start printing guns. We need mandatory waiting periods before allowing people to purchase 3D printers.
Should criminal's be able to have 3D printers? What if they print them to make guns?
Not only should we have strict requirements on who can own a 3D printer we should also require 3D printer manufacturers install technology that allows the government to ensure it isn't used to print dangerous things.
I honestly am glad at this brave and stunning move by New York to set an example for the rest of the nation that will prevent dangerous weapons from getting into the hands of criminals. It is only this kind of thinking that will allow us to eventually be able to be as safe as places like the UK.
And let's be clear here anyone that disagrees with me or downvotes me you are only doing it because you hate children and want them to be massacred, how many kids have to die due to 3D printing before the government will step in?
