I suppose to start. How many have? This seems to be a fairly low effectiveness effort with lots of collateral damage to address a real issue of people getting guns and taking a trip to a school. Which doesn't require 3d printers.

Let us be clear here I'm down voting because that much of dripping sarcasm just gets people emotional and doesn't help anything. Feel free to make a cohesive argument one way or another:). Long sarcasm tirades assume other side is wrong and stupid and aren't helpful.
(I'm on your side, btw fwiw! But I still don't like dripping sarcasm insinuating other perspectives are clearly stupid!:)

No possible defense of 3D printer restrictions could be made, except by an idiot or someone trolling. There are no smart people against 3D printing we will be offending with sarcasm.

but what if we took an originalist perspective and allow people to have an unlimited number of 3D printed muzzle loaders as that was the weapon available at the time.

Search & replace isn't dripping sarcasm, it's the Colbert Report and The Onion, which have rather proven the validity of the practice.
If the result sounds in any way remarkable, then that only illustrates that the original is remarkable in exactly the same way, which is of course the point of the exercise.
Maybe you aren't a fan, but they are certainly in non-trivially good company.

The Onion breaking news: Criminals use "wood" to construct rifle stocks in their basement weapons labs, government to announce new legislation to require permits to own trees or purchase lumber.
