And as expected several more states are getting on board and doing the same thing to make files illegal and mandate 'monitored' printers. Sure, they will get sued and eventually shut down like last time, but during the potential decades long process i suspect they will let the law stand "for safety".   Then when it is eventually struck down, they will just do it again, and again, a 'virtual' win, for them. 

Its also a gamble that perhaps in 20 years during its 2nd or 3rd trip to SCOTUS, there will be new judges and they hope even less supportive of rights than they are now. But since they have unlimited funds, they have nothing to lose anyway.  

Its why the left push the 'its about hunting' nonsense.  No, our founders wanted us to have the same exact resources the government has ( funding aside.. most of us cant afford a fancy new tank.. but should still have the right to do so ).  But, they know this, just dont care and keep the FUD program moving to brainwash the masses.

"relative safety" is a strawman.

Banning plastic parts for a 3D-printed plinker is equally as Hitlerian as banning fully automatic machine guns.

We are constitutionally guaranteed permission to own giant weapons that can kill thousands of people per minute.  Anyone who disagrees, deserves to be shot.
