Do you have any evidence that any significant number of Americans want this restriction on 3D printers?

I think the representatives pushing for this legislation is evidence that a significant portion of their polled constituents want restrictions on printed ghost guns. Is that more or less believable than a manufacturing lobby pushing legislators in NY state for printer DRM?

		>I think the representatives pushing for this legislation is evidence Why is that considered evidence? There are many cases of elected representatives doing things that do not align with the wishes of their constituents. There are also many cases of regulators regulating things that their constituents don't care about at all, but help a politician's career by building their reputation as one of "getting things done". Actual evidence would be polling, citizen organizations, donations etc. None of which seem to exist for this issue.

When you vote for people who have a regulatory mentality, you tend to get a government that responds to any problem with regulation.
