@ProcurementCat

Should we regulate CNC machines and laser/water cutters as well?

Makers aren't the problem. It's what some makers make. If you ban or restrict tools, they'll just use different tools/methods. Or just break the law, because they already don't care about laws. Just makes it harder for legitimate users to get anything done.

We should sort out how people get radicalized and fix that problem.

Yeah, I know. Just like cars aren't the problem of traffic deaths (okay well actually they are). But we still register them to easier find the culprit in a hit and run.

If you ban or restrict tools, they'll just use different tools/methods.

Good. Make it harder for them.

Or just break the law, because they already don't care about laws.

Good. Again it makes it harder for them to acquire the tools without getting caught.

I know how to make weapons, ammo or explosives. I'd stell 100% get busted trying to make it on my own, because shops keep lists of the people buying the necessary chemicals, and finding "dark connections" isn't easy - they have to trust you, you have to trust them, and you can't just go make an ad in a newspaper, can you?

Have none if you ever tried actually breaking the law in a slightly large manner? It's not that easy if you don't have any connections.
