    Can anyone name one crime that has been committed with a 3d printed gun from the last 3 years that hasn’t been committed 100x more often in the last week with a stolen or illegally obtained gun.

      Or by legal gun owners, who are responsible for a massive percentage of gun violence, (for example, 80% of all mass shootings).

      You know, the same legal gun owners who let their guns get stolen or staunchly oppose closing gun show loopholes or making straw-purchasing more difficult.

          I know you’re trying to say “the people killed by domestic terrorists in America are statistically insignificant” but awkwardly shoehorning it in like that just makes it sound like you don’t understand percentages.
