Sleepy Joe Biden is coming for your guns. And this time, it’s not the typical “I’ll buy back your rifles and steal what you don’t turn over.” He’s going a step further, moving the Democrats in the direction of a new woke form of gun control: he’s coming after 3D-printable ghost gun code. This, however, is merely a pipe dream that would trample on the first, fourth, and second amendments of the Constitution.

Biden’s Pipe Dream

Joe Biden wants to make gun manufacturers more legally liable for mass-shootings. Across the board, he wants to reduce American access to firearms. One of the ways that he wants to do this is targeting the infamous 3D-printed ghost guns:

“People who ‘possess’ computer code that could allow a 3D printer to produce a plastic firearm would be required to submit to a federal government background check under Biden’s plan, as though they were purchasing a finished weapon from a dealer.”https://t.co/rKj0Hn3ESU — JDaniel Richer (@JDanielRicher) October 3, 2019

Politicians have attempted stunts like this before. H.R. 7115 attempted to completely outlaw 3D-printed ghost guns. However, such legislation is ultimately futile. As I have written in the past, such attempts at regulation are futile. The concept of the ghost gun exists so as to completely circumvent government regulation. It exists so it can enshrine the right to keep and bear arms under the right to free speech.

Without a full shut down of Defense Distributed, the production/sale of milling machines, the production/sale of 3D printers, or the internet itself, 3D printable firearms will continue to exist. They were designed specifically to circumvent regulations like H.R. 7115. The gun lovers who hold 3D printable weapons near and dear to their hearts have nothing to fear because the government cannot do a thing to take these weapons away.
