Was there a shooting with a printed firearm recently?

Irrelevant: the goal is not preventing shootings (I mean, they would go for the obvious solution otherwise)

This isn't really about safety, it's about gun manufacturer profits.

Like how machine gun owners don’t support the repeal of the nfa or fopa because it would tank the value of their stamp items.
