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.
That’s what “representative government” is all about. I’ve never tried to do this but theoretically you could write to your representative or senator and try to impress them with your idea. You’d probably get more traction by starting local with a city or town ordinance, or by creating a campaign on social media and in person - rally an impressive number of people to stand around city hall with signs requesting/demanding this kind of action, get noticed on news media, and build it into a credible movement. In many states citizens who collect enough signatures can place proposed legislation on ballots during regular elections.
Honestly though… What’s the process for a regular idiot to try and suggest or propose new bills? I think I’d like to actually propose such a bill
