This is in effect in the UK, and I know of at least one case where a trans woman was arrested and convicted of a serious offense for printing *the shell of* a gun for use as part of a costume, because the prosecution argued it could be converted to a real weapon too easily.
JFC this bill is dystopian. It basically mandates putting DRM and spyware on all 3-D printers, all in the name of gun control (and if you think it will stop with firearms, I have a bridge to sell you). This would wipe out the maker movement at a time when it's finally starting to become accessible.

I have a request for somebody with better photoshop skills than I have. Can someone please replace the circle in the transgender symbol with the gear in the socialist symbol? Essentially just merging these symbols together. I'm thinking a red symbol for now. No background please.
