    > California Firearm Printing Prevention Act, establishes a framework to regulate the sale of three-dimensional (3D) printers in the state by requiring them to include built-in "firearm blocking technology"

    This is so obnoxiously impossible.

      Exactly. You can slice and dice a model and just merge it in the slicer and if there'sfirmwarebloks, with how good AI is at reverse engineering it wouldn't be an insurmountable challenge to roll your own firmware without the restrictions.

    So, what, unlicensed posession of electric motors will be a felony?

    So should everyone buy 3D printers before the government lockdown comes into effect?
