I mean the idea "prevent people from 3D printing guns" is good. At least its heart is in the right spot. 3D printers make it much much easier to make a gun. It's like what AI is doing to development, writing, and so on. Now people who didn't know how to make a gun can do it quite easily with little to no skill.
However, the problem is always feasibility and privacy. Companies hide their plans from their employees by dividing up the work so that no one is the wiser. Circumventing this at the software level would be easy, just print the parts separately. If everything is tracked, that's a huge breach in privacy.
These kinds of things only ultimately serve the surveillance apparatus.
Tracking who owns such a machine capable of printing a gun though🤔 Dunno... Not sure whether I'm against that. I could be convinced either way. We do need licenses to drive our rolling murder machines and not every 3D printer is capable of printing a functional gun.
I'm not going to post it here, but you're way behind dude. There are tutorials out there with every step required to print and operate 3D guns in all shapes and sizes. Sure, it requires a little extra sometimes, and some may be flimsy (one shot), but a shot might be all it takes.
And you can make one out of shit from a hardware store, but they're not outlawing those. This is not about guns, it's about repairability and planned obselescense.

I mean nah, it's legal (in most states/US). Fuck a company deciding what I can and can't do with a product I own, my phone gonna start detecting pirated MP3s next? My Cannon gonna refuse to print porn pics? It's not their damn problem what people print and doubly so if it's legal.

3d printer can't print any of the actual important parts of a gun.
This is an attack on right to repair. The guns were the Trojan horse, just like the ID laws used protecting the children for.
