> 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"
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.

This is so obnoxiously impossible.

This will stop exactly zero criminals who were going to use a 3D printer to print gun parts.
So, what, unlicensed posession of electric motors will be a felony?
So should everyone buy 3D printers before the government lockdown comes into effect?
