There are zero /new/ gun control laws that would not infringe upon the 2nd.
Frankly, it's going to shortly be an absolutely moot point - 3D printed firearms - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia

hillary claims that she is going to make it an issue
in her campaign
--LOL
indeed i certainly hope so
Laugh all you want, but the reality is that the /only/ way for the government to prevent 3D firearms is to completely restrict /all/ internet in the US (and abroad for those who travel) And if you look into software piracy you'll see just how difficult it is to stop - you wonder why MS Windows has authorization and shit, that's why.
You could repeal the 2nd and remove all guns from the country, but if you think gangs, drug dealers, and other criminals are not going to spend the money on a 3D printer to print their own arms in that case you're not facing reality. They expect the price of 3D printers to be in range of even the middle class within a couple years, if not sooner. EVEN if we don't pass any gun control arms, these fuckers are going to be doing it - we have laws on the books regulating 3d printing of firearms already (have to put a plate in it so it's metal detector visible) but the gov knows that's not going to cut it. I think it's part of why they passed that internet gun discussion shit not to long ago; the one that prevents you from "sharing" manufacturing techniques online. Not that it'll stop them, some fucker out there will virtually construct one and sell the plans on the pirate underground for billions.
The guy in Japan already did it, maybe we should collaborate with them as to how they are thinking to prevent it from happening again and see if there's a way we can fit that idea into our laws (unlikely considering Japan pretty much makes you give your SSN to use the internet heh)
The really big growth sector for 3d guns.....once again...criminals...and the government can't stop them now.....how will they stop 3d printing gun builders for criminal and terrorist organizations?
Truth. I almost bought one of these things to make gismos for computer mods and stuff; was only like $3k but I know the price is going to drop so I'm waiting. I'm really excited for the technology over-all. That said, a friend of mine bought one and has already designed and printed a bunch of stuff, she said it can do pretty much anything you could imagine [if you know how to do CAD.]
