    Aren’t they already doing that due to their hysteria over “ghost” guns?

      I learned from Mario that ghosts can only harm you if you look away. They never had guns, but I guess the same applies for that.

      Well, that’s the excuse at least. The law would have to effectively kill 3D printing. Is that the goal? Idk.

        It would severally hurt small time manufacturers, so yeah, probably.

      Trying to yes. I think it’s model legislation, probably ALEC bs, if I recall CA tried to pass it and hasn’t yet. Maybe a year back.

        Washington State’s bill would ban offline 3d printing and essentially force all printers to include DRM to stop undesirable printing.
