Can we get the names of these people so we can have their drivers licenses taken away?
Impossible. The only actual discourse I think they have is to either ban 3d printers outright, require that filament/resin etc designed for these is made somehow traceable, or license and/or registrate the purchase and/or used of the printers/filaments.
Maybe the dumbest possible idea here from government regulators. You think you’re going to somehow legislate certain geometry out of existence? “Sorry, you can’t print that ILLEGAL SHAPE with the printer you own!” Same vacant headed assholes that think they can ban encryption. Fuck off, shrivel up and perish, please.
Yeah good luck with that fuckheads
Lol, most of this crap is DIY, good luck with that
I see 10,000 forks in the near future, and fully decentralized ways of hosting them. God forbid we actually try to regulate real guns, no it’s those damn hobbyists who spent thousands on printers!
Yes, because it’s so difficult to get a gun in America any other way /s
Probably the gun industry lobbying for this 🫢
Trying to stop a printer from printing sounds like a tough ask.
Maybe they can partner with Epson or Brother, they’re pretty good at keeping their printers from printing
Those are angels compared to HP
Down right idiotic. I’m all for some better gun control, but this is just a stupid idea.
If Texas wants to put a bounty on women, we should be able to put a bounty on guns. It’d be a lot more effective too.
Republicans literally hunting women
Liberals: “if only we could disarm women, things would be better.”
I’ll never understand why we just can’t do the exact same things as Republicans do thats within the letter of the law (hopefully spirit-ish but letter is the main concern)
Illegal migrants employed? Texas bounty
Illegal guns possession or production? Texas bounty
Abuse of religious tax exemption or religious political activism? Texas bounty
Seperation of church and state violations? Texas bounty
Get the direct witnesses to trash some scratch for the trouble and watch the streets clean themselves
Something Chuck Norris could support….
as a non-American, do I even dare ask what you’re talking about?
A while back some Texas lawmakers wanted to offer a reward for turning in women seeking out of state abortions. I think that’s what the commenter is referring to.
They did actually pass that law.
Oh right that. Some of Y’all are nuts.
Good luck with that given 3D printers are full of open-source software.
Don’t bring that to their attention- they’ll start banning open source too.
POLICE, HE RELEASED HIS SOFTWARE FREE FOR ANYONE TO USE, SHOOT SHOOT SHOOT
Death by being SWATed after a Github commit.
git commit crime
Damn it’s been a long time since I’ve had to use the whole thing:
Rolling on the floor, laughing my ass off.
Now available as a .stl file!
If they could do this, it would be a good idea. It’s just not possible.
where are people distributing 3d printed gun models? I’m guessing thingiverse has already cracked down on weapons
Are they going to require government monitors if you own a CNC machine next?
It wouldn’t surprise me if somebody tried to get such a thing passed in a couple of years.
Ban pipes when?
Anyone ever try to photocopy currency?
Money is easy, many currencies have the “Eurion constellation” which can be recognized by the copier. It will be much harder to recognise a 3d printed part to detect something that can be made into a gun.
3d printing != paper printing. It’s largely hobbyist ran technology, and almost entirely open source. You’re not going to get tracking dots or currency replication prevention into open source software.
Oh I know, I’m saying they’re both equally ridiculous.
