The REAL problem that the US has is deep inequity and a lack of a social safety net work actual healthcare IMO: Gun violence would be virtually eliminated if citizens were actually taken care of.
Even if you could magically disappear all the guns, the US would still be a violent place because gun violence is just a symptom of the above issues.
Before anyone brings it up: I’m not arguing for or against gun regulations here, just that this runs deeper than some might suggest.
I know usa has bigger problem than guns like healthcare (bigger as it affects way more people than guns), my comment was only to answer to your why would they go after 3D printing.
A violent place without guns Will always be a better place than with.
