It starts with a crusade against ‘ghost guns.’ It ends with government bureaucrats able to see everything you do.
One of the most essential branches of English liberty is the freedom of one’s house.” —James Otis, patriot.
As an American citizen, whenever legislators deploy the ever-flimsy progressive banner of “public safety,” I feel decidedly unsafe.
Newly proposed and enacted legislation targeting 3D printers and CNC machines would impose restrictions more severe than those the Supreme Court rejects for actual guns. In conjunction with restrictions on tools, states would create a category of computer source code illegal to possess.
The excuse? “Ghost guns”!
There’s abundant hair-on-fire rhetoric, even written into legislation. Washington’s recently enacted HB2320 states, “Undetectable and untraceable firearms and firearms components presents a growing threat to public safety.” The author of California’s AB 2047 testified, “These firearms are incredibly dangerous because they are not part of our regular flow, meaning they are not marked, they are not permitted, they are made in someone’s home, and we don’t even know they exist.” Not actual use, but private possession frightens this lawmaker.
Plain text on the ATF’s website states that personally manufactured firearms (PMFs) are legal to own and make, even with 3D printed components.
California, Colorado, New York, Massachusetts, and Washington lawmakers are generating restrictions on certain tools and computer code, used to create millions of items unrelated to guns every day, to thwart Americans’ attempts to make a gun it’s legal to make.
In August, Colorado will forbid using a 3D printer or CNC to make any firearm or part, along with sale or distribution of digital firearm-making instructions to anyone but a student or instructor in an approved gunsmithing program.

The cameras and microphones on computers and cell phones can be remotely turned on to get real-time images and audio inside your home. I have also heard that there are efforts to image homes and buildings from reflections of wi-fi signals. The interest is in imaging people and guns.
Haven’t “they” been able to do this via cameras in smart TVs?
What about the houses of “representatives”?
They think we are stupid. Look no further than your closest junk pile for deadly weapons.
Oh, the jaw bone of an ass will do just as well.
Punish the crime, you will never regulate behavior.
Don’t try to take away my second amendment, it is in place for this reason.
The tell will be: “It’s for your own safety”

“A police state is a safe state.”
I guess I’d better put some clothes on
reminiscent of the soviets banning the use of copiers by private citizens and most businesses, only much worse because the machines must check in with the government each time they’re used and contain locked down microcode to automatically detect “illegal” usage.
While it is possible to make firearm components with a 3D printer just how many 3D printed guns are being made? With 10s of millions of firearms already in the public’s hands and so far there are many legal makers and sellers of firearms why go to the trouble of making a 3D printed version? One has to wonder if these laws are looking forward to a time when the government has confiscated all firearms and 3D printing might be the only source of weapons.
J6 gave you the answer to that one.
It's "the peoples house"...just not US pee-poles.
And of course the real load bearing components (which are legally the "gun") would not be 3D printed.
It's certainly not a production method a criminal would use. Those guys steal guns. It's much easier.
There is no need to wonder at all.
Government officials generally want to confiscate all firearms in private hands. Furthermore, they want to ensure that ordinary citizens cannot even think of acquiring weapons of any type from any source.
It's all about "public safety". Theirs, not yours.
At no point in history has any government ever wanted its people to be defenseless for any good reason

Yep
Your house becomes a learing center.

Every block of metal can be considered a firearm according to this ridiculous rule. This is all about controlling everything manufacturing wise. Every cnc machine, every chunk of metal, every 3d printer, any design software, would all be rendered obsolete by these idiots.
