Many old guns have no serial number.

...and what exactly would you propose to stop this if it were made illegal?

Well we all know nothing stops unwanted activity better than declaring it to be illegal!

I have a few built from 80% lowers. Officially they don’t exist and never will. Guns? What guns?

This whole 3D gun thing is just idiotic IMHO. I don't really understand why this would even be made "legal" - what's the purpose? Even if it's limited in use, only takes one shot. There is so much debate about current gun laws, why allow totally hidden guns (even single use) to be allowed? Just makes no sense in modern society.

So we should give up rights in "modern society"? That is what is wrong with liberals.

Well, banning or restricting it now is even more silly. As they say, the internet is forever.

Does that declaration mean that criminals, lunatics, and other such people are any more qualified to own such weapons? Does that statement make those weapons any less dangerous?

Ugh... right-wingers. They don't trust the government to keep extreme weapons out of the hands of known troublemakers, but they do want the government to regulate everything else, from who can get married to what religions are acceptable.

As for the 3D printed guns - just another way for lunatics to kill people... something the far-right will label "freedom?!"

Classic failed analogy from the far-right. "We still have gun crime despite gun laws, so gun laws don't work."

Based on that "logic," we can also say, "I see people run red lights every week. Clearly, traffic laws don't work, and we shouldn't have them."

Lunacy...

There are 20,000 worthless gun laws on the books. Should we have another 20,000?

There is about to be a huge reduction of gun laws thanks to the liberal 9th court.
