  This is stupid easy to bypass plus you still need metal parts to make it work

  Guns are actually really easy to make and can be assembled from parts found at a local hardware store. If you want something fancier you could even mill a gun out of metal

    Yeah but a right wing incel maniac trying to get a gun to go blow away a high school isn’t going to know how to mill his own gun. He might download on and use his father’s 3D printer to make one.

      You can’t use a 3D printer to make a working gun and it isn’t possible to distinguish a gun from anything else.

      This is security theater that hurts the general public and small businesses while giving yet more power to the wealthy

        How does it hurt the general public, exactly? By not letting them shoot each other?

      Won’t you just use his father’s gun? That’s what they always seem to do.
