Comment on We Can Still Stop California’s 3D Printer Surveillance Scheme

You can buy whole kits to build your own, the capacity to control what is made with the is about as much as if you tried to ban someone with a table saw from building a birdhouse.

Printer manufacturers won’t make state-specific versions of printers. This is going to screw all of us.

Likely not even country specific ones.
This is going to screw all of us.
This is the USA screwing the world (again)

Oh nothing to worry about then? Fuck you, we need to fight back against every infringement of our rights, it has nothing to do with how effective the law will be but that the law is WRONG.
Jesus christ when will we stop doing this?

Actually ammo reloaded at home shoots better than factory ammo this is a known occurance. And guns put together with kits usually shoot better and have less problems than mass produced factory ones.
Guns aren’t really that difficult to make. Hell that Japanese guy shot Shinto Abe with a gun he made himself although bit of a different thing because it used a battery to ignite the gunpowder but still the same idea.
Making guns isn’t hard to do.
3d printed ones are a joke though. You can only use them a few times before they become even more dangerous and unpredictable.

Tell me you know nothing about metalworking and firearms, without telling me you know nothing about metalworking and firearms.

Thats a perfectly succinct analogy.
Pretty sure you could make a gun too, which is the point of this 3D printer thing
And like what about other CNC machines?
I like that California is on the frontier of many tech laws, but this and the age thing are particularly dumb lately

I made an AR15 with a hobby drill press from Lowes at work. Give me a hunk of metal, a micrometer and a file and I can make you a gun.
Or worse.
PattyMcB@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
I’m pretty sure that’s already illegal in CA
grue@lemmy.world 2 weeks ago
Neat, I would’ve assumed you’d need a mill or a lathe, not just a drill press. Link to instructions?

Shovel AK is a thing too. There are stencils out there for it.

And that is illegal, as it should be. The efficacy of a law has nothing to do with whether it’s moral.
It’s like saying “we don’t have the manpower to police murder effectively, so we are gonna legalize murder”. It’s a fundamental misunderstanding of what the law is fucking for.

Nobody tell California about a nail combined with certain diameters of pipe, because guess what, those can become guns too.

zip guns, lets bring in slam fired shotguns.
Never doubt the ingenuity of man killing other men.
tomiant@piefed.social 2 weeks ago
And that is illegal and you’ll rightly spend a lot of time in jail for doing that, shit you can go to prison for suggesting it.

If I’m not mistaken, this DOES cover ALL manufacturing devices, and if it doesn’t, it will in the future

Yeah I’ve lived in CA for about 10 years now and have loved it, but the new laws they are passing are making it extremely likely that I’ll be moving soon. Especially with tje fact that we are either getting either Becerra who’s in Big AI and Big Oils pocket.
