Yes, it might happen. Someday.

We need to deal with reality as it now exists.

The materials needed to print a firearm might be something that can be controlled. If you make an AR-15 out of plastic it is going to explode the first time you fire it.

It is not late for gun control. Not for the people who will be killed 10 years from now in more mass shootings.

We need to take some meaningful steps and not make idiotic excuses.
