So according to Schumer, a criminal would rather spend:
$800 for the 3d printer
$800 for a decent computer
Download, install and learn a free CAD software,
Download, install and learn a slicer program
Run a few test prints and adjust their printer
Then print off a single shot .380 pistol
VS
Going to the local criminal gun dealer and paying say $500 for a 15 plus shot 9 mm Glock that was stolen from someones house
Sure, makes sense to me.

Security checkpoints, background checks and gun regulations will do little good if criminals can print their own plastic firearms at home and bring those firearms through metal detectors with no one the wiser, Apparently with plastic cartridges as well.

plastic firearms
That was the same wailful cry when the first thermoplastic glocks came out. They'd be invisibile to airport x-ray machines............LOL!
As a side note, a few years ago when I lost my job, I applied for employment with the TSA. I went thru a battery of tests, one of which was to view photos of typical luggage x-rays and try to identify specific test mandated items.
Outlines of literally everything you store in your carry on luggage is revealed in those x-rays, not just metal objects........

The Liberator may look like a toy, but this gun can fire regular bullets, Schumer said, calling for legislation outlawing the technologys weapons potential Too late! The Liberator cost less than $2.00 to build using the stamped-metal technology of the early 1940s [Guide Lamp division of General Motors of Anderson, Indiana was the prime contractor] and with today's plastics technology....

Remember, communist countries are fond of banning printers, copiers, faxes, etc.

Heck anyone with enough skill to use a 3d printer can ALSO build their own gun using off the shelf parts ANYWAYS!!! Not even necessary: USFA Zip .22:

Freedom is not a Democrat Party principle.
Schumer wants control
freedom negates control
schumer does not want freedom.
