I understand the intent, but feel that there are so many other loopholes that put much worse weapons on the street than a printer. Besides, my prints can barely sustain normal use, much less a bullet being fired from them. I would think that this is more of a risk to the person holding the gun than who it's pointing at.

Its all mental heath related but no politicians want to touch mental heath with a 10 foot pole

That's because the underlying causes of the poor mental health are things like inequality, consumerism, and car dependency (not just the burdensome cost, frustration of wasting time in traffic, and poor health from lack of exercise, but also the direct harm to mental health from replacing third places with non-places). Since pretty much all the politicians (of either party) are full steam ahead on the crony-capitalism train, of course they have no interest in solving any of those.
