New York is, again, at the forefront of absurdity.
In addition to banning gas stoves and furnaces. In addition to banning wood-fired pizza ovens. They are now banning 3D printers.
OK, I am slightly exaggerating, they are passing legislation to require a criminal background check to purchase or own a 3D printer. Unfortunately for the serfs (I mean citizens) of New York, the Constitution does not have an amendment granting the right to keep and bear 3D printers.
Sometimes I scare myself... I wrote this two years ago in my dystopian sci-fi novel..
Another chuckle. “Jason, have you ever seen a 3D printer?”
“Sure, we have an XB96 at the Roscoe. I haven’t used it, but it seems to be pretty awesome”.
"Well, the XB96 doesn’t print metal because you sheep aren’t allowed to print anything durable without a license”.
It seems that New York is finally catching up with my prophesy. Oh, and they shall have up to 15 days to review your request so you may have to wait 15 days to get your printer. I'm sure that their next legislation will ban the Maker Faire Loophole.... how dare you sell your old 3D printer to someone else!!
