I did search to see if there was anything of this already on here and didn’t find anything, which could just mean no one cares. In the US Washington state and New York are in the process of trying to establish some laws related to 3D printing and prohibited items like fire arms. A video related to…

I don’t think there’s been much talk recently about it recently, but there was a topic about New York a while back. [image] Background checks for 3D printer purchases General Discussions I don’t normally wade into politics on a forum, but I feel like I should …

This isn’t the article I was thinking of, but it’s related, and longer than 5 months ago. Basically NY wanted Creality to monitor all jobs downloaded to their printers. https://all3dp.com/4/is-the-u-s-inching-toward-3d-printer-regulation-in-its-efforts-to-curb-gun-violence/ Thanks for the link you…

Thud-oops Thanks for entering this into the forum. People will need to become concerned that once something like this passes without issues, there will be more states that will use the law as a template. People need to become engaged with their local representatives.

Simply put there’s one word that will prevent these bills. Logistics. We have a government that is as corrupt as they come right now. They can’t pass gas let alone pass a bill that isn’t heavily weighted against most of the population. There’s a lot more for us to worry about then something stupi…
