What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

States are adopting comparable firearm restrictions. Specifically, California enacted a new law targeting 3D printers that could facilitate gunmaking. This measure requires manufacturers to eventually add firearm prevention technology to certain printers entering the California market, though it does not immediately affect existing owners or machines.

The legislation introduces new compliance obligations for manufacturers of 3D printers as the required technical standard becomes available. California joins New York as the second U.S. state to establish restrictions specifically concerning this technology.
