Technically it’s for any printer capable of printing a firearm or the components of a firearm, which is…. every printer. What a bafflingly stupid proposal. If you’re in NY, please call your reps and tell them to oppose this bill.

        Not a good one, I’d imagine. The casings real purpose afaik is to turn into shrapnel, I don’t think plastic would be as effective. Then again, I believe it’s common to mix screws or similar in with the explosive for more shrapnel, so maybe. Just speculating though
