#Science #Technology New Washington State #Legislation Makes #3DPrinters #Surveillance Tools - Lawmakers are advancing 2 proposals that would expand the state’s control over how 3D printers and similar equipment can be used, citing the spread of untraceable firearms as justification. The measures have raised concern among those who see them as an overreach that risks curbing lawful innovation and digital design freedoms. House Bill 2321 would require that all 3D printers sold in Washington after July 1, 2027, include built-in safeguards that detect and block attempts to produce #firearms or #firearm components. https://reclaimthenet.org/new-washington-legislation-makes-3d-printers-surveillance-tools
