California’s new bill requires DOJ-approved 3D printers that report on themselves targeting general-purpose machines.

Assembly Member Bauer-Kahan introduced AB-2047, the “California Firearm Printing Prevention Act,” on February 17th. The bill would ban the sale or transfer of any 3D printer in California unless it appears on a state-maintained roster of approved makes and models… certified by the Department of Justice as equipped with “firearm blocking technology.” Manufacturers would need to submit attestations for every make and model. The DOJ would publish a list. If your printer isn’t on the list by March 1, 2029, it can’t be sold. In addition, knowingly disabling or circumventing the blocking software is a misdemeanor.

I'm not sure if you're gaslighting, dumb, or just have the memory of a goldfish.

Did you not know that in 1994 Democrats passed an assault rifle ban and magazines couldn't hold more than 10 rounds? It lasted for an entire decade. Joe Biden talked about trying to do it again, but harsher. It was also 1934 when Democrats created an incredibly high priced tax stamp requirement for automatic weapons, which kept most people from affording a purchase if they wanted one.

It doesn't matter if you know a bunch of gun owning Democrats. So do I. That has no bearing on the fact that a bunch of Republicans vote red no matter what because "the Democrats want to take their guns".
