The dumbest part is: it is perfectly legal to make a gun for 99% of Americans. The entire 'ghost gun' attack angle is doomed to failure.
And it isn't just 3D printing; the New York bill includes all computerized manufacturing; it very explicitly includes CNC machines, for example. They are taking down entire manufacturing sectors to go after an unwinnable goal.
I dunno why they don't just outlaw manufacturing your own firearms without a license...
It'd probably be wildly unconstitutional?
Donald Trump holding government office in USA is wildly unconstitutional too.
