    The bill requires manufacturers to embed a “firearm blueprint detection algorithm” in every model by July 2028.

    by July 2028?? Welp that gives DIY gun-making enthisiasts plenty of time & advance notice to crank out as many guns possible 🤦🏼‍♀️

          No, the issue is about freedom and fighting authoritarianism

          This law will not do anything about guns. It will allow the government and private companies to see and control your 3D printer.

            I mean it mentions in the article & people are discussing in the comments that the govt & private companies will be able to see & control everyone’s 3D printers to the extent of recognizing & preventing plans to print any component for a firearm.

      Surely you’re not suggesting people not update the firmware on their already purchased and perfectly functional 3D printer.
