Over here in Europe, it's pretty laborious to get a firearm legally and yet 3D prints for that are not discussed at all.

It's surprising to see discussions and bills like these, when there is the second amendment in place. What is fueling this discussion?

		That seems like the way to go about it. Address when people are _selling_ guns. The fact that they were printed and not imported from Yugoslavia in 1990 doesn't really matter. Trying to stop people with 3D printers (Or metal tubes) from creating guns seems almost impossible.
