It's not illegal to make your own firearm, you just can't sell it.

>>jp1919+k7
They want to make it illegal

>>reacto+G7
Maybe they should look more at how other countries quite successfully banned fire arms. Hint: it wasn't by banning printers.

It's not about banning, it's about taxing. Distilling liquor without paying taxes is illegal.

>>dylan6+7b
This is handled without banning glass containers.

>>wizzwi+zc
Nobody banned anything here either.

What's "blocking technology", then? I'm repeating an argument from the article, which itself is an argument older than the microprocessor:

> But the answer to misuse isn’t surveillance built into the tool itself. We don’t require table saws to scan wood for weapon shapes. We don’t require lathes to phone home before turning metal. We prosecute people who make illegal things, not people who own tools.
