First tool ban is here! A new law was just signed in New York that requires blueprint blocking technology on every CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe and 3D printer. This affects everyone who makes, builds or fixes things. This isn’t a firearms law. It’s a manufacturing law. And they buried it in the budget because they knew exactly what it was.
They start with closed source and will close the open source loop hole in a future bill. This is boiling frogs if anything.
It’s even better than that - for them.
With this bill the legislation is effectively now on the books but in a dormant state where it can be selectively activated at any future time and with whatever scope the ‘working group’ decide.
