the goal is you cant sell a 3D printer without attestation that it is anti firearm compliant.

now they have to do 80% printers, kits composed of not a printer subunits, to be assembled on site.

then DIY sources must be dealt with:

it looks like mole whackings, all the way down.

Regulating actual guns that are frequently used in crime? Unlikely.

Regulating theoretical guns? No requirement is too draconian.

80% kits are already illegal in California (as are 0% kits, if a solid rectangle of aluminum is marketed as being suitable for milling into a firearm)

I feel like kits for the purpose of assembling a printer would also be subject to regulation and attack... and open-source printer firmware... and related guides or resources... and related hardware platforms, like CNC and laser cutting...
