New York Wants to Ctrl+Alt+Delete Your 3D Printer
New York’s budget bill proposes mandatory file-scanning “blocking” software for 3D printers and CNC tools. It targets general-purpose tools instead of criminal acts — and puts educators, open source, and small makers on the hook first.

@adafruit Something must be in the legislators' water. A similar bill is in committee in Washington.

@adafruit @jeremiah it's culture war nonsense. They're terrified someone might print a grip for a firearm.
If this appears coordinated, it's because it is. Blue state legislators get a lot of money from anti-gun groups, just like red states and pro-gun groups. The lobbyists write the bills. The legislators submit them. The people lose.

@adafruit @jeremiah for similar nonsense, check out Assembly Bill A2228 that would require a background check to buy a 3D printer
