I understand the intent, but feel that there are so many other loopholes that put much worse weapons on the street than a printer. Besides, my prints can barely sustain normal use, much less a bullet being fired from them. I would think that this is more of a risk to the person holding the gun than who it's pointing at.

What is this straw man fallacy you're seeing? I haven't made any arguments; I'm simply stating facts about how legal gun purchases work in the United States.

They wanted to use all the buzzwords because "gun bad," they even implied "your kind" (and thus you) was racist with no evidence.

Not to worry though, a fairly large percentage of your travelling companions will have their eyes peeled for anyone who's not white and acting outside their expectations.
