Empire State lawmakers have moved to criminalize digital blueprints used to 3D-print firearm parts and the printers that can read them as part of a gun-control package that also targeted popular Glock pistols.
Governor Kathy Hochul (D.) signed the measure into law on Wednesday as part of the state’s budget bill. It sets up a ban on the sale of 3D printers that aren’t equipped with yet-to-be-developed software or hardware that blocks the printing of firearms frames or receivers, unless the buyer has state and federal firearms industry licenses. It bans the distribution or sale of digital gun design files and pistols that feature a “cruciform trigger bar,” such as the popular Glock handgun lineup. It further bans the mere possession of those gun design files by anyone who intends to use them to make firearms or other items, like machinegun conversion devices commonly called “Glock switches,” without a gun manufacturer’s license.
“When I took office, I made a promise to New Yorkers to attack the gun violence epidemic head-on, and as gun technology continues to evolve, so do our strongest-in-the-nation gun laws,” Hochul said in a statement about the proposals earlier this year.

NY is the first to slip it under the tent and pass it.

Totally stupid.
Files can be shared across networks at the speed of light.
The ‘blueprint’ can be in another state while the printer is in New York...................
Every lawmaker involved needs to be forced to pay every penny of the costs incurred by the taxpayers in this sham.
This has already been tried and already been ruled to be unconstitutional.
Ya gotta hand it to the dems though....they rarely take NO for an answer. SMH
4 states are still beating the drum.
Yep.
The 4 blue states that have such bills, are REALLY STUPID, and are all in deep dooo financially.
Washington, New York, California, Colorado. If NM tried, it would not surprise me.
Fire all the Constitution Haters. Send them to Jail.
“The internal components of a Carlo [submachine gun] can be constructed using various metal pieces from home appliances...”
What Iranian freedom fighters might like to have:
The people behind this are not trying to reduce violence, they are about disarming the population.
That Will NOT FLY!
Bullets will fly before that crap.
Shouldn’t they also ban all metal lathes and milling machines?
“shall not be infringed”
Albany doesn't give a damn.
And as long as Deep State can continue to rig our elections, it doesn't have to give a damn.
It’s funny that these people think you can “ban” something digital.
These legislators should sit down with their kids and ask how to download pirate movies.
Perhaps they should put the people who print illegal weapons in prison. For a long time.
Nope…they don’t want to do that.
“they are about disarming the population”
They had better let me take my beer out of my refrigerator before hauling it away.
lol...you can’t ban “files”. Yes, totally unconstitutional, 1A, 2A violations.
It’s more of a 1A violation than 2A.
I’d love to understand how they’d expect to enforce it too. Good luck with all the levels of encryption.
