        You’re right. This is definitely about protecting the US service economy from people manufacturing their own plastic trinkets. /s Just to be clear: I think this is a stupid bill, but it absolutely tracks with concern/hysteria around ‘ghost guns’. No need to consult the tea leaves to figure this one out.

      If they didn’t want people having firearms, by golly there’s some lower hanging fruit.
