       EFF says California's proposed legislation to put the burden of blocking 3D-printed firearms onto printer manufacturers could effectively sideline open source tools and create new surveillance concerns, The Register reports. https://www.theregister.com/2026/04/14/eff_california_3dprinted_firearms/

       @effIt does seem like "right to repair" alone is thinking too small as a concept.  Recently I've been thinking that it's a subset to an idea I haven't tended to see expressed before, "right to tools fit for purpose"... and this legalized sabotage bill seems like it violates that in other ways too.

       @effIt's funny that in a country where you can buy real firearms at Walmart's you need to restrict a technology that can also be used to create less effective ones. How about preventing school shootings by abolishing education? Wait, they're already doing that?!
