Frequently Asked Questions

What is Washington House Bill 2321?

What are the potential consequences of HB 2321?

Why is HB 2321 considered a 'Trojan Horse'?

The 'Trojan Horse' argument suggests that HB 2321 uses firearm regulation as a pretext to implement broader controls on 3D printing technology. This could allow corporations to enforce intellectual property rights on various designs, not just firearms, thereby stifling innovation and personal creation.

What action is recommended regarding HB 2321?

Residents of Washington State are urged to contact their elected representatives to voice their opposition to HB 2321. The speaker emphasizes the importance of defending the rights to repair, tinker, and create, framing the bill as a threat to digital freedom.
