The bill is in early stages in committee.

    You’d need a metal barrel, receiver and other parts to make a gun that can shoot more than once.

    Incorrect. All you need is a 3d printer, a steel hydraulic line and random nuts bolts and springs all easily obtained at Homdepot and other construction supply stores. The FGC9 has been successfully shot multiple thousands of rounds without any of the stuff you’re saying is needed.

        That’s stupid. I could also build a gun out of a Dremel and a trip to the plumbing store. Does that mean we should do background checks on dremels?
