New York Wants to Ctrl+Alt+Delete Your 3D Printer@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.

Because a LOT of people are missing the point:@cstross the thing is, the big money knows it's BS or, at least, doesn't care if it's BS. They'll get in early, ride the hype wave and then try to cash out before it all falls apart.
"The stock markets are a way for everyone to participate in owning a company and promote growth." Is nonsense. The markets have become casinos and are disconnected from the economy.
