So… could I not just disconnect my pc from the internet, or have a desktop or virtual machine without internet access, keep my 3d printer offline, and use a software or 3d modeling software that’s open-source, and profit?

This bill has also just classified my ice tray as a 3D printer, and don’t tell anyone but a trip to my local Home Depot with 10 bucks in my hand could potentially make something more dangerous.

Yup, FreeCAD, Cura slicer, and my printer only hooked up to the outlet.

Theoretically you could also make your own printer from scratch with a few DVD drives and hard drives from a local ewaste facility.

You can buy a machine gun in my town quicker than you can get through the checkout in home depot. Politicians are so stupid that we should actually replace them with AI. …or my dog.

As usual, it’s difficult to discern dumb from malicious, but this is politics, so I assume it’s a bit of both.
Companies lobbying for anti-repair, the need to control the citizens and the means of production, or trying to pander to a particular group (they’re printing knives in school, oh no!)

Tariffs so people will start producing more in US. Also, don’t produce in the US.
