Comment on California’s New Bill Requires DOJ-Approved 3D Printers That Report on Themselves
Doomsider@lemmy.world 2 days agoNope, 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.
Do you have any information such as sources You could point me to?
I have been researching it. It is a combination of WIPO (which is a trade organization promoted by corporations that are against 3D printing in general) and Billionaires Bloomberg’s Everytown.
There are some other notable players as well but these are the two main forces. At first glance Everytown seems like a sensible organization. As I dig deeper it appears they want to counter balance the NRA, but they are not anti-gun at all.
This leads me to believe that they are just an alternative NRA (which has been used as a tool to increase gun sales for years).
I will keep on researching it.
