CRPA TV discusses concerns that this expansion, particularly to less restricted academic levels like community colleges, could lead to the "doxing" of law-abiding gun owners, similar to a past DOJ incident, potentially resulting in identity theft, harassment, and targeted burglaries.

The bill's revival and passage are seen as a significant threat to 3D printing in California.
