California’s new bill requires DOJ-approved 3D printers that report on themselves targeting general-purpose machines.

Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan introduced AB-2047, the “California Firearm Printing Prevention Act,” on February 17th. The bill would ban the sale or transfer of any 3D printer in California unless it appears on a state-maintained roster of approved makes and models… certified by the Department of Justice as equipped with “firearm blocking technology.” Manufacturers would need to submit attestations for every make and model. The DOJ would publish a list. If your printer isn’t on the list by March 1, 2029, it can’t be sold. In addition, knowingly disabling or circumventing the blocking software is a misdemeanor.

      Funny enough, guns can be made from a handful of hardware store parts.

          That didn’t work well for that doctor that was murdered by ICE.

              Not personally. But Sanae Takaichi was Abe’s ideological successor. Now she’s right back in the PM with an enormous majority.

              You can doohickey the man, but you can’t doohickey the movement.

            Very frustrating to see people confuse Gun Ownership with Being Bulletproof.

            As though you’re going to quick draw on the entire LASD, at which point they’ll all just tip their hats and proclaim “this person has constitutional rights, we will leave peacefully and not bother you again”.

                But he didn’t draw on them

                Because he was rushing to help one of his neighbors recover from tear gas. Which is what an EMT is trained to do.

      My main printer up until last month was powered by an Arduino Mega. Like not even an “Arduino-compatible ATMEGA 2560-based 3D printer control board” an Arduino Mega, with the infinity ± logo. Reprap style.
