What a wanker.

[SWAMPSNIPER]

New York is almost as great a threat to liberty as Iran.

Is he going to ban CNC milling machines too?

[Jonty30]

Well, good luck on that.

How are you going to stop peer-to-peer transmission of plans?

[Husker24]

It’s a worse threat because of it proximity to the rest of us.

“Mark Forged refused to sell him their printer......”

He desperately needs this printer to make two sado/masochist leather clad grooms to top a gay wedding cake.

[FlingWingFlyer]

I’d like to see some serious legislation that bans commie lib politicians from being elected by low information morons.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Better outlaw computers, too, just to be sure.

When will Steve propose a”Ban”on All”DemonRats”???????????

[Ken H]

This should be just fine with SCOTUS. Fallout from the Raich decision, perhaps =>

_________________________________________________________________

Not long after the decision in Raich, the Court vacated a lower court decision in United States v. Stewart and remanded it to the court of appeals for reconsideration in light of Raich. In Stewart, the Ninth Circuit had held that Congress lacked the Commerce Clause power to criminalize the possession of homemade machine guns.

... ‘Terrorists might use these, therefore we must ban them!’

I agree. Ban all terrorists. Forbid them from getting their hands on any 3D technology.

Oh, right, these laws only affect law abiding citizens who are no threat. They are the ones who will have their hands tied.

Ahh well, it is said that one can not actually complete an average day now without committing at least one felony. What's one more?

[null and void]

3-D Printer Ping!

Political power grows out of the nozzle of a 3-D Printer.

Is he going to ban CNC milling machines too?

Quite a few very effective firearms were manufactured before CNC equipment appeared on the market. The only difference is in the required skills of the machinist. Guns like STEN were designed to be very simple in production. The drawings are available on the Internet.

You can make an effective weapon from sheet metal as well. A good barrel should be forged, but that could change with newer technology as well.

[Tenacious 1]

They should ban the ignition of unobtanium by means of impact too. It could be dangerous.

Typical leftist statist Rat.
