First tool ban is here! A new law was just signed in New York that requires blueprint blocking technology on every CNC machine, laser cutter, lathe and 3D printer. This affects everyone who makes, builds or fixes things. This isn't a firearms law. It's a manufacturing law. And they buried it in the budget because they knew exactly what it was.

Even if something like this were to actually come to fruition, I have to imagine that all it would really result in is kind of like when the EU used to have less strict guidelines on wireless technologies and in America you could just flash the European firmware to get longer range. Surely there will just be a New York specific firmware and then you can flash the firmware from somewhere else.
