I know the title sounds like click bait but I have only just come across this video from Loyal Moses:
Briefly from the video transcript
This is Washington State House Bill 2321. If passed, it will become effective 1 July 2027 (if i understood correctly would apply to New York state as well?)
"Washington House Bill 2321 mandates that by July 1st, 2027, no 3D printer can be
sold or transferred in Washington state unless it contains blocking features. These features must use a government controlled database to detect and stop the printing of firearm parts If a manufacturer does not comply, they cannot sell here."
"This bill defines a 3D printer as a machine capable of additive manufacturing or catch this, subtractive manufacturing. Translation, this isn't just about plastic squirters.
Subtractive manufacturing means CNC machines. It means lathes. It means laser cutters. Any machine that takes computer instructions to modify an object is technically swept up in this."
My first reaction was it is too early for 1st April, then surely this bill could not be passed the USA system?
What do you think?
