New York Passes Law Mandating Non-Existent Technology to Block 3D-Printed Guns

Summary

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed a new law mandating that all 3D printers sold in the state must include non-existent technology capable of scanning and preventing the printing of firearms and gun parts. This law, criticized for its technological infeasibility and potential First and Fourth Amendment violations, imposes a civil penalty of $5,000 per product sold on retailers and establishes a working group to develop censorship standards.
