So certainly the DUNS, phone number, and physical address information will give up the perpetrators, thank goodness for Apple developer registration.

> Easy way to explain the absurdity of the idea is to picture how could a law be made restricting 2D printers from printing schematics of guns. > > How the printer could detect it, where the censoring circuit or program would live, how effective it would be and what it means long-term.

Maybe instead of stopping you the printer could add some small almost invisible dots in a pattern to identify which printer printed the schematic.

This is the organization behind this...

>Lawmakers can take aggressive action to spur change in this area and help prevent the printing of 3DPFs. The most comprehensive solutions would apply nationwide, and Congress should work immediately to pass the innovative laws described here. But even without federal action, state policymakers can take meaningful action to curtail 3DPFs.

Why isn't EFF calling out Everytown for Gun Safety and Moms Demand Action for pushing this across the US?

Yup.

Everytown and Moms Demand Action which operates under Everytown also provide the white papers, testimony, polling, and public pressure.

These bills across multiplenstates are 100% democratic developed, sponsored, and pushed. In fact the NRA denounces Everytown and it seems unlikely they would be in cahoots behind this push.

Because this is a glide path to what they really want, look at Apple and running unsigned apps on your Mac, how it started, simple right click, how is it going, near impossible.

  If it has the suffix "logy", it's a semi-science

My favorite part of this video is where they divert and dry up one lake, and then build two reservoirs further downstream.
