Wait so far these things are relatively trivial pieces of equipment in terms of software, no? Read instructions, move stepper motors/control heating elements.

So realistically what we’re looking at is hash based block lists for known firearm and parts designs, which would be trivial to circumvent by adding the equivalent of noop instructions to the .gcode files 🤷‍♂️

They’ll do anything but adopt firearm laws that are relevant and sensible.
To be fair, California has some of the strictest gun laws in the US. That’s a low bar though.
And most of those laws are either stupid, out of touch, racist, or multiple of those. In a fair amount of times it’s all three.
