(Monkey Business Images | Dreamstime.com)
A member of the New York state legislature wants people to be fingerprinted and pass a criminal background check before they can buy a 3D printer. Democratic state Sen. Jenifer Rajkumar says such printers can be used to make and sell untraceable guns. The bill doesn't specify what will happen to those who already own 3D printers or to those who buy them from private sellers or from out of state.
