Preemption? The article does describe, possibly unknowingly, the Councilman's legislation as a "preemptive move".

Not addressed in these articles on 3-D printers is the preferred current alternative of purchasing a fully functioning firearm on the black marker at significantly less cost. Another superior alternative for those with metal-shop skills is machining a firearms frame with plans available online and adding parts to assemble a completely functioning firearm.

What is never addressed is the futility of the attempts to completely control firearms acquisition. Another law is not going to plug up that leaky sieve.
