> 3d printing control laws that are being passed in NY

The "don't print guns" laws? What lobby would that be? I actually agree that the US is very vulnerable to lobbying and that 3d printing restrictions are dumb, but I have no idea how you connected the two.

Gun control lobbying groups are pushing for these laws.

Wow, that is some breathtaking stupidity. Almost literally breathtaking. Who is funding these people?

The point of a special interest group is just to serve the special interest, nothing else.

Basically all of them will throw any other interest under the bus to support their own.

The “install software that phones home to [government db] to check if the tube shape you want to print on the tool you bought and own is different enough from another tube that’s been used in a gun” laws?

Laws that don’t meaningfully impact alleged 3d printing of guns because you can’t 3d print the metal parts of a gun that are needed to actually do gun things, on the vast majority of devices these laws would restrict.

Did you read beyond the first sentence? This reply makes no sense if you read the whole comment.

Yeah fair, I did when I was halfway through and decided to get my piece out anyway. These laws are stupid at best
