As it relates to sovereignty and liberty clashing with tech/regulations in the modern age as it relates to 3d metal printing.
There’s historical info about what they have done in the past for the regular printer/xerox, which ultimately can be traced back to the machine and what file was printed/copies.
Recently I came across talks about proposing legislation to embed/disable 3d metal printing files which would include “lower arms/carriers” for smithing your own rig at home.
To me this is likened to telling the caveman (me) he can’t have a spear/sword.
They messed up farmers with the right to repair, and buckled. So now all oem parts and software has to go directly through the company (joe smith can’t fix his own rig without going/buying/servicing directly through the dealer), this is usually for big rigs like combines and big tractors with ac/gps etc.
Which costs a lot of money, which in turn is passed down to the consumer in the end.
If I can 3d metal print my own “spear/sword” at home for cheap, why should I have to go buy one?
If I can 3d metal print my own tractor/combine part at home, why should I have to go buy one?
In the US and states that are friendly to the 2nd amendment, if I were to 3d part that is on the “naughty” list such as a lower arm, have a transparent process, communication and storage of the printer/file which printed that STL with those schematics.
Instead of blocking/trying to stop it completely/infringing on the 2nd amendment.
We may even get innovation and economic gain/growth from it, e.g. more gunsmiths, selling parts, STL files and products which are professional and a lower cost.
