Virtually any 3D printer that isn't bottom-barrel Amazon crap can print off a pistol lower. So the same item that one can buy in 49 other states at Micro Center or via Amazon now requires the same process as acquiring a firearm -- another thing that New York state is loathe about.
No matter what you think about the potential of 3D printers, just consider that at any given time there are folds more people printing the Rocktopus or hose couplers than there are firearms.
