    This really seems like it’s just a way to get DRM onto printers to stop people from printing replacement parts or ‘copyrighted’ materials.

    This so broad and vague as to be unconstitutional. It’s like mandating that computers have to have technology that prevents hate speech. A 3d printer, like a computer, a hammer, a pencil, or the myriad of other tools humans use is just a general tool that can be put to good or bad uses. It would be insane to require anti-skull bashing technology for hammers and it is crazy to burden 3d printer manufacturers to develop technology to try to do this. Moreover, 3d printers are just one way to make ghost guns. A better way may be just home CNC. Instead of additive technology laying down layers of plastic one by one, with home CNC you can take a block of metal and machine it out, subtractive technology. The bill does not impact home CNC. So dumb!

      We should pass a law that all knives have to know what purpose they are being used for and should refuse to be used for stabbing or otherwise hurting people.

      All part of why the Democrat party is only slightly smaller bags of shit than the Republican party. Neither one is worth a damn. It’s all about control, power, and keeping rich.

      Lol, do you realize that regular 2D printer manufacturers have mandates for embedding codes in the prints so that they can be traced?

      Or that Photoshop and photo editing software has mandated counterfeit bill detection features in it?

      It doesn’t completely invalidate all of your points, but the idea is not as crazy or unprecedented as a hammer with anti murder technology. Hell even just basic cap guns have to have an orange tip.

      As long as gun nuts kept insisting on designing and printing guns, this was inevitably going to happen. Like what the fuck did they think the end result of designing and distributing murder machines online was going to be?? Did they really think everyone, in every jurisdiction and country around the world, was going to agree with their dumbass Republican interpretation of the 2nd amendment?

      mandating that computers have to have technology that prevents hate speech.

      What a brilliant idea, let’s get on it immediately. 🤣

      Joking aside, you are 100% right.
      Except I think the idea of printing a gun is to avoid detection in metal detectors.

      No, California already does lots of gun regulation.

      If anything, I think this is the result of a culture in which they’re looking for ways to do more when there’s no much more they can really do without federal changes.

      It’s fucked up. California legislators just do not really care about surveillance or civil rights at this this point.

        Well, except for actually effective policies like better access to mental health care and reducing socioeconomic inequality. Because that would take actual effort.

    Thanks gun nuts! You’re obsession with point and click murder machines has now led to this.
