Comment on California just passed a law forcing mandatory DRM in 3D printers
Zephyr@sh.itjust.works 2 days agoPrinting a gun without a license can be and likely is currently illegal. You can just use traditional manufacturing methods to do the same thing anyways. It’s not rocket science. The issue is the control over people to maybe prevent them from doing what you’re saying. We could install cameras in everyone’s house to make super sure they’re not breaking any laws. I think you now see the problem. More control, more safety, less freedom.

*Highly dependant on location, in much of the US it is completely legal, you just can’t sell it.

I’ll have to double check this… usually weapons manufacturing is pretty well controlled. Then again there’s always a way. Like no one thought that fertilizer sales should be monitored until the Unabomber.

The US it is federally legal to manufacture your own firearm. There are some state level restrictions depending on which one of those you’re in. In the rest of the world it’s probably considerably more regulated, but then again in the rest of the world it’ll be tougher to get your hands on the all the other parts you’d need as well.
