Three States Want to Lock Down Your 3D Printer — Here's Why That's a Disaster
Three states are pushing bills to make 3D printer makers install censorware that blocks 'gun-like' prints. It's DRM all over again — and it's dumber than ever.
⚡ Key Takeaways
- 3D print blocking revives failed DRM tactics, harming innovators not criminals.
- Ghost guns come from kits, not home printers — laws miss the target.
- Expect higher prices, less innovation, and black markets if these bills pass.
