This is the crap your average gun owners have to deal with all the time. And with similar results for crime prevention, which leads to more and more hoops as legislators try more of the same.
All because they genuinely don't understand the subject matter or don't care but want to appeal to people who also don't know. Remember the "this is a ghost gun" speech?
Welcome to the shitshow, I'm truly sorry you're here. I just want to enjoy 3D printed doodads and neat non-printed range toys in peace.
Not entirely a fair comparison. Gun owners might have to deal with some extra process in the acquisition of a tool explicitly capable of sending projectiles at lethal speeds. There is a good reason why some of those hoops might be tied to "crime prevention". Because it is a tool remarkably well suited for it...
Adding such loops for 3D printers would make as much sense as for a bag of sand, because you could drop it on someone... But that's not what it's used for... and the extra hoops should be in proportion.
edit: Have I stumbled on some gun-loving easily offended part of lemmy? Let's see some congruent argument against anything I wrote. I encourage it. Be a brave snowflake.
