Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves

Sooooo you want to stop gun violence in the US so your first instinct is to fuck over 3D printers because gun violence is okay as long as the guns are bought from the normal vendors?

This paw isn’t about lowering gun violence, this is something pushed to protect the gun manufacturers

Because it’s not about stopping gun violence, it’s about ensuring the state has the final say over who gets a firearm, and keeps them out of the hands of people who might genuinely need them for self and community defense by any means possible

  Nope, it is about competition with the firearms industry.

    Sorry but no. That is ik no way a competitor to regular manufactures. That is like building a soap box car and thinking Chrysler is gonna sue you.
    
    3d printed guns are interesting because they can be made to not trigger metal detectors. Iirc the models I have seen were single use only. Don’t think accuracy is great either.

    You are simply wrong, this legislation is being pushed by gun manufacturers.

The 3D printing lobby isn’t as big as the NRA.

They know they can’t take the gun industry head on, so they chip at the margins. They figure hobbyists aren’t numerous enough to fight back, while the real gun owners shrug.

I honestly wonder if this might be held unconstitutional if challenged.

Can have the military complex lose money.
