Comment on How 3-D Printed Guns Evolved Into Serious Weapons in a Yearparent

Comments

Suicide is the primary means of death by gun in the US, however that is not true if your black, your more than five times likely to die because of another person, usually black, killing you with a gun.

Do guns beget violence? There are those who think that access to guns makes suicide easier and while that may be true people who want to kill themselves will find a way.

Banning 3d printers won't make a dent in anything. It would be just like any new gun law, ignoring the problems that exist, especially within large cities where life isn't seen as important. Why is that? Who knows, some will point to lack of having to take of yourself or family because of assistance doesn't teach responsibility. When you only have to look out for yourself the risks get higher. Others will simply point to drugs or worse race and make claims that way.

Ban printers, why not ban knowledge. Making the illegal activity more difficult doesn't change the fact it was already illegal.
