    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

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