  One passed, the other has yet to be presented. These legislators have no clue how they’d even do it, but circumventing the scan is also made illegal.

  So yeah, flashing Open-Source firmware is something they dont like either, but fingers crossed they just choose to not allocate resources to enforcement. Wouldn’t be surprised if this 3D printed missile mentioned in the article above comes up ad a taking point during the legislative hearings.

  Washington state already started making moves against it, as an attempt to prevent 3D printed firearm components. Specifically, it requires 3D printers sold within the state to have firmware-based scanning to cancel prints it suspects are used for firearms.

  This has always messed with me to explain, but mostly since this confusion is based on different experiences. If you learn the theory and understand how to craft your own circuitry, pushing and pulling amps can be designed for, but if all you’ve ever done is install things like a contractor would, then all you’re familiar with is pulling amps.

  It always makes it such a hard explanation when someone says, “I thought you pulled amps.” There really ain’t an easy explanation, since most people are only familiar with systems designed to not be used outside their target voltage, so they don’t experience Ohm’s Law in action.
