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.

    tried to ban someone with a table saw from building a birdhouse.

    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

    Or just go to a bordering state, buy one, and come back

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

    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.

  You cannot put DRM in stepper motors. This law is dumb.

    Can’t stop those 3D printer pens, either. Someone could one day be literal when they say they are gonna draw a weapon.

      You can still connect it to your LAN without giving it internet access.

    If this was about guns, they would ban hardware stores. It's just about controlling everything so they can parcel it back out to friends.

  I don’t really get it other than changing its convenience and efficiency. Superglue and wall loops make stronger parts of multiple pieces than priting it all in one.
