There is currently a bill in the NY State Assembly to require background checks for the purchase of 3D printers
Requires a criminal history background check for the purchase of a three-dimensional printer capable of creating firearms; prohibits sale to a person who would be disqualified on the basis of criminal history from being granted a license to possess a firearm.
Technically it’s for any printer capable of printing a firearm or the components of a firearm, which is…. every printer. What a bafflingly stupid proposal. If you’re in NY, please call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill.

How much harder would it be than getting an actual gun?
Road trip to Georgia and back, basically.
Just FYI, you can't buy a firearm at a dealer outside of your home state without having it shipped to an FFL holder in your home state. E.g., I can't drive to Family Firearms in Alabama from Georgia--where i live--to buy a gun. I have to order from them, and then have it shipped to an FFL near me, and then fill out the paperwork in my own state. In states that allow private, p2p sales (which is most of them), you could buy a firearm with cash from an individual, and they'd never do a background check or fill out a 4473.
Thank you for the information. My (incorrect) assumption was the oft-paraded "gun show" loophole.
I think consistent effort is required to erase any misconception about the availability of firearms.
Makes total sense
my granny got one in a Walmart parking lot so it can't be that hard.
Still don't know how that even happens.Well, maybe that’s your (US&A) problem, not 3d printers ;)
