  • Supporters say the measure tackles the problem before a downloadable file becomes an untraceable weapon. Everytown for Gun Safety says recoveries of 3D-printed crime guns across 20 cities have risen nearly 1,000% over the past five years, and argues that cheaper, more capable printers are already being used in illegal ghost gun operations.

    Ooooh, that’s two large red flags for me (disregarding the litany of red flags the concept in general has). Every town being involved makes me question the data on its face, given the number of times I saw gang violence near a school out of school hours listed as a school shooting in their database, as does a large percentage increase with no hard numbers. If they recovered 1 gun last year and 11 this year, that’s a 1000% increase, but the percentage sounds so much worse than the real number.


  • It would help if you provided more than unsourced claims and what amounts to telling me to do my own research to figure out your point. As is, I don’t know what you believe past a general disagreement with basic points, only that you’re apparently unable or unwilling to support it, so I have to assume you can’t support it after multiple attempts at good faith discussion.

    So maybe actually explain why you see this as FUD, or I’m going to take that as confirmation you know your argument is wrong. At this point, I have to assume you’re wasting time and just desperate to get the last word.



  • when AMDs actions are actually justified.

    Yeah, this is the part we’re disagreeing on, because so far I haven’t seen a real justification for why the same app is fine on windows but not Linux and is only accessible on linux through a subscription. What part of Linux specifically costs them money that doesn’t on windows?

    Also, just because you don’t like the info doesn’t make it dubious. And ironically, your defense of them is dubious by providing vague responses and unsupported accusations of spreading FUD.
