Makes it look like they're doing something about crime. Doesn't stop anyone from selling or buying them one, though, does it?

NY bill would require a criminal history background check for the purchase of a 3D printer
(www.nysenate.gov)
In Soviet Russia, access to photocopiers, mimeographs, etc. was restricted to prevent the dissemination of samizdat.
Has anybody actually successfully produced a proper firearm with a 3D printer? Like, one that doesn't melt after firing a shot? Who are these people who've created this nonsensical panic?
Yes... they've been doing it for years.
They have advanced the production technique enough to make full auto guns that shoot pistol calibers.
Also 3D printing in metal is a thing, I do believe it requires finish machining for the majority of consumer grade units.
