This year the state of New York had the dubious honor of being the first to pass a controversial provision to mandate all 3D printers come with surveillance and censorship. That means not only is there a ticking clock to protect every artist, researcher, engineer, and hobbyist in the state, but there is a real risk of other states thoughtlessly following suit—prior to the New York rules even taking effect. Now that the bill has passed and been signed by Governor Hochul, let’s look at two important ways the final legislation changed since we last wrote about it, and why states like California shouldn’t make the same mistake.
So transparent and stupid. Makes me want to print guns.
Please don’t, the plastic will almost certainly break after just 1 shot.
If you want to make your own gun, you should use your 3d printer to create parts for a CNC machine, and use that to make the gun.
??? No just no…there are tons of files out there for 3d printed lowers and uppers. You still need metal parts, like the barrel and BCG, but you absolutely can 3d print firearms parts that last thousands of rounds.
Also, that’s not how a CNC works.
