>It's the thing gun manufacturers are selling to their customer base though. The theory was they were lobbying for this to prevent competition Does anyone actually believe this? Is there any funds for this theory? Seems to be too far fetched to be even worth sitting. >Luigi Mangione didn't have a criminal record That really isn't the point (he still doesn't have a criminal record, by the way). The point was that the stated danger of 3D printed guns is their use by criminals for criminal purposes, not economic competition to established gun manufacturers. | ||

I guess the counterpoint is that it's not actually useful to criminals either, so there is no incentive for any non-fool to want laws like this and then all incentive arguments are weak because foolishness can be attributed to anyone. | ||
