California has enacted AB2156, signed by Governor Gavin Newsom, which effectively criminalizes the private manufacturing of firearms using 3D printers. This law prohibits any individual, regardless of federal licensing, from manufacturing more than four firearms annually without a state license. The legislation defines 3D printers as computer-aided manufacturing devices and extends prohibitions to precursor parts like 80% lowers, flats, and jigs, regardless of whether steel is embedded or serial numbers are applied. The speaker argues this law will not deter criminals but will remove legal avenues for hobbyists, citing ATF data that ghost guns are not a widespread threat.
