Of course no one will notice, because it’s beneficial to certain groups to keep pushing the idea that there’s a rampant crime wave and we’re in more danger than ever.
NY really wants to pass that law to force background checks for 3d printer purchases.
Unless they do the same for lathes, mills, drills, and pressure piping, seems almost like it’s a pointless fucking law designed to have a certain look with no factual basis…
Fuck, I could teach someone how to build their own 3d printer from a mix of cheap ebay parts and off the shelf hardware store shit.
Next they’ll make it illegal to have technical documentation on the schematics and models for things arbitrarily deemed “dangerous”.
Oh wait…
