Pants-on-head idiocy by the DA.
It is 100% legal in the US to build your own gun for personal use, and has been for the entire existence of the country.
Just because it can now be done with custom plastic parts instead of wooden or hardware store parts, changes nothing.
Plus there is no way to validate when 3D printed guns were created, because they aren't required to be serialized unless they are made by a dealer for resale. So they'd have to ban ALL pre-existing 3D printed guns of any kind, regardless of manufacture date, since you're not going to be able to distinguish preban guns.
Putting spyware into every 3D printer or slicer software, because of what people "might do", is also ridiculous and scummy.
TL; DR- This DA needs to fuck off and just use normal constitutional methods to enforce laws.
I live in MA. They're mandating serialization for these too, and you have to either register the serial number if you've already engraved one or request that the state assign you a serial number if you haven't. Both of those are dated to ensure compliance.
Which creates a gun registry, which has been fought pretty hard in the past. I don't know if this has been challenged yet.
