The bill would require consumer 3D printers sold in California to include "firearm blocking technology" that checks design files before a print job can begin.
This first bill allows the state of California to regulate and oversee all 3D prints in the name of public safety.
In the name of gutting small manufacturing and the ability to repair your own devices. This has never had anything to do with safety, as they can’t even do the thing the bill demands. Fucking asinine
Next steps I’m sure. Then they ban you from printing anything that resembles a patented device, anything that looks like a medical device (can’t skip certification), and anything that looks like a toy (SAVE THE CHILDREN!).
