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.

Will they require a background check for CNC machines and lathes as well?

They're eventually just going to demand you're under AI monitored video surveillance at all times, even while bathing.

Oh yes, AI Daddy, surveil me harder!

On a positive note, you'll be able to buy different subscriptions, so it's not a complete loss for you. The medical subscription for the probe, which will notify you if it spots any polyps or rectal cancer. Or a "recreational" subscription, where you can engage the vibrating bit that's near to your prostate.

Oh the joy when you get a notification on your phone saying "what did we find in your rectum? Pay 50USD to find out" and it's a piece of corn.

Routers and lathes, both CNC and manual ... and calipers! The name sounds like something to do with bullets and they look like tiny machine guns.

Pretty soon they would have to ban backyard foundries, aluminum cans, molding sand, metal files, and drill bits!
