3D printers are even less useful here though. The rocket bit can be replaced with a cardboard tube and some balsa fins. The important parts are the active control and circuitry.
But I guess logic doesn’t really enter into the conversation anyway.
They’re already trying that in New York and California, unfortunately. “Any 3D printer capable of printing parts for firearms” was the verbage, from what I recall.
They already are over 3d guns, this will send them ballistic. They want every printer to keep a record of everything they’ve printed. Model legislation, I think CA tried and so far failed to pass it.
Great… can’t wait for politicians to use this as a way to pass “common sense” legislation banning 3D printers.

Aren’t they already doing that due to their hysteria over “ghost” guns?
But what about real guns?
Oh, those ate okay.
I learned from Mario that ghosts can only harm you if you look away. They never had guns, but I guess the same applies for that.
Trying to yes. I think it’s model legislation, probably ALEC bs, if I recall CA tried to pass it and hasn’t yet. Maybe a year back.
Washington State’s bill would ban offline 3d printing and essentially force all printers to include DRM to stop undesirable printing.
Well, that’s the excuse at least. The law would have to effectively kill 3D printing. Is that the goal? Idk.
It would severally hurt small time manufacturers, so yeah, probably.
The kind that can be better made with $20 and a trip to home depot?

You don’t need to ban 3D printers. Restrictions and licensing requirements for making, using, owning rockets and guidance software are enough.
I wonder if there is some archive or torrent for STL files, like an archive of thingiverse or something. Would be nice to archive that just in case.
Just download the code from github and make a torrent: https://github.com/novatic14/MANPADS-System-Launcher-and-Rocket
Is that even necessary? Anyone with a CAD tool can recreate the 3D printed parts from a glance and a few specs.
It’s literally a tube. Which—to be fair—is a “weapon of mass destruction” according to President Bush (the other war criminal president).
LOL. Like they “ban” some guns?.
Printers are not hard to assemble from parts.
