       Every 3D print in NY can be surveilled — from political speech to company prototypes — if these provisions make it into the state budget. We need to act NOW to stop it. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2026/04/stop-new-yorks-attack-3d-printing #NewYork #3Dprinting

       @eff The other issue is that you can print a "gun" with all the necessary parts but for it to actually work, you need the right materials.  Meanwhile,  a realistic looking, non-functional, replica could be quite useful as a theatrical prop. If made out of a soft plastic, it might not be capable of being fired and if you did get the explosive to detonate, it would possibly just explode in your hand.
