1645 segments
Katie Kirk on behalf of Moms Demand
Action.
And I advocate for
um
in support.
>> Thank you so much.
>> Hey everybody, how's it going? I hope
you're having a lovely day. I'm going to
make this into a few separate videos
because I don't know how to get out what
I'd like to get out very quickly, but I
wanted to give people who don't want to
watch a 9-hour long live stream some
quick cutouts of what happened. TLDR,
this bill that is going to require 3D
printers to have tracking software in
them or to connect to some server
somehow using technology that does not
yet exist to be able to detect whether
or not a thing you're printing a firearm
part moved forward. They voted yes on it
again. So it moved out of judiciary last
week and this week it moved out of the
public safety committee and it was
overwhelmingly voted in favor of. I
wanted to just show you some clips of
the stuff that I found the silliest. The
first point, and that's the point that
it is keep pointing to over and over
again, is that there is a lot of
astro-turfing that I believe is going on
in the pushing of these bills around the
country and I traced it back in my last
video to Bloomberg and everytown for gun
safety who's also affiliated with this
group Moms Demand Action. When the
hearing starts, they're going to be the
me, too's and you're going to see all
these women and a couple men go up
wearing red shirts and it's going to say
Moms Demand Action.
You look into them. Please look into
them. And it's going to be a certain
type of person you're going to see
through the whole thing. But then when I
look down this hall,
it's everybody. It's diverse. It's
totally inclusive. It's everyone across
the board. Everyone this affects. It's
not just, "Oh, we're trying to
take this action and push it through."
Katie Kirk on behalf of Moms Demand
Action.
And I advocate for
um
in support.
>> [laughter]
>> Thank you so much.
>> Like if you saw the people that are for
this bill, it was the same person in the
same red shirt with the same logo over
and over and over again. It was a carbon
copy. If you look around here, I see
everyone on the planet. There's people
from all over the world, every walk of
life, every age, everything.
>> That woman didn't know what her position
was supposed to be on the bill.
>> And I advocate for
um
in support.
>> I don't think that these people even
know what the bill is about. And David
started talking to some of them and it
sounded like some of them didn't
actually know what this bill is about.
They were just told something.
>> I'm so deeply disappointed in Everytown
and in Moms Demand Action because it's
like once upon a time I followed them
when they when they formed and um I wish
that I could continue to support them,
but um sorry, I know who's paying the
bills now and this is awful and it's
deeply disappointing.
>> So, they're taking advantage I mean how
I don't know if you had conversations
with the women that were here from Moms
Demand Action, but like even sitting
there having a chat with them like some
of them didn't even really like as Louis
saw earlier like one of them wouldn't
even know if she was for or against. I
was having a conversation with them and
they're like, wait, what? And I show
them the eyeball and they're like, what?
I didn't know that. They just told me
that it just makes guns.
>> They're just here to like
>> it's a gun-making machine and they're
like, well, yeah. And I'm like, they're
gaslighting their own people.
>> And again, this this is just my opinion
here. I don't have proof of this. It
just sounds like you went to the
rent-a-mom center and you just paid two
or three hundred dollars plus lunch to
get some people to put on a red shirt
and show up to say that they're in
opposition to something because moms are
a sympathetic group. Because older moms
are a sympathetic group. I I know I I
sound like a dick saying it, but I'm
just going to say it because this is all
what we're all thinking. It seems like
you just went to the rent-a-sympathetic
group of people store and just rented a
group of sympathetic people for this.
That woman, in my opinion, has no
[ __ ] clue why she is there. I don't
think she's a bad person. I don't think
she's a mean person. I think, in my
opinion, that they're taking advantage
of people that want to do good in the
world. I know my you know, my grandma
was a very kind and caring old lady. She
liked being a part of things that were
making the world better. And when she
was 77, if you told her, "Hey, you know,
you have nothing to do today. You're
retired. You like you have no career.
Your family's moved out. Would you like
to spend some time showing up here just
to try and make the world a little
better? She'd be like, "Oh, I support
you. I support you. I love it." You
know, with the old-school San Benedetto
accent. And I could see her getting
roped into something like this. That
really kind of pissed me off.
I think they're taking advantage of
people. They have the money to do this.
That's a 50 to 80 million-dollar-a-year
budget.
That's a lot of treats for BlackBerry.
To be clear, I am not mad at or making
fun of that older woman. That is not
what I'm making What what I'm mad at is
Everytown. I am mad at Bloomberg. I am
mad at the people that use their 55 to
80 million-dollar-a-year budget. I don't
know what the mechanism is for rent a
sympathetic group of people. I don't
know how you organize that, but they
have the money to do it. And it is very
[ __ ] clear if you were present for
that hearing or you spoke to some of the
people involved that many of the people
testifying in favor of this bill don't
know what's in it.
In fact, some of the people that are
going to be voting on it barely know
what's in it. They read the bill the
night before, and they admitted that
they don't really know what's in it.
>> These are very genuine questions cuz I
also I'm I'm learning about about this
in real time as you all are explaining
this to me. Um and as I was reading the
bill last night
>> You could hear that little tinge of a
laugh at the end the same way that I
would have laughed in fourth grade if I
was supposed to do my book report and I
actually just started writing it last
night.
>> Um and as I was reading the bill last
night
>> Right before I hand it in and when the
teacher says, "Did you write this last
night when you had 6 months to write
your book report?"
That's the exact same laugh. That's the
exact same tone of voice that you heard
there. They know that they are
legislating and regulating an industry
that they do not understand, that they
literally just started learning about.
I'm very sympathetic to the fact that
they have a lot of bills to read, and
I'm very sympathetic to the fact that
one person can't be an expert on
everything, but that's why if you don't
have the time to read all of this, and
you don't have the ability to be an
expert on the topic, that you need to
err on the side of caution before you
[ __ ] up an entire industry when every
single person who is an expert in that
industry is telling you that this is not
possible.
>> It's everyone. This clearly affects the
whole planet. When you hear the list of
companies that are supporting this
around the world and all the scientists
and engineers and just people in general
that get it, I mean people outside of
engineering and 3D printing are
supporting this cuz of the pure
absurdity of the bill.
>> I'm not going to vote on this just
because it looks good.
>> I know.
>> 3 seconds later.
>> [laughter]
>> I'm going to vote on it cuz it looks
good.
>> I don't always I'm very selective in the
gun bills that I support because I don't
want to vote just because it looks good.
It's got to work and I'm I'm from a
hunting family. They hunted and they ate
everything they hunted and they lived
out in a rural area. So I want the guns
to make sense, but I also think there's
something here. I'm going to vote for it
today. I may not on the floor. I think
there's some more discussion that needs
to be had and I really appreciate
everybody coming out here today because
I learned a lot about the applications
of that technology to be able to create
things that do really good things in in
our lives and I will be voting yes
today.
>> Then you have the guy that said if you
wanted to manufacture a gun yourself,
you probably could manufacture a gun
yourself. You could just go anywhere and
get a gun yourself. So I thought, "Ah,
maybe this person gets it."
And maybe this bill is just about making
a statement. Maybe it doesn't even
really do anything. I'm like, "He really
does get it."
And then he voted for it just to make a
statement.
>> I am very picky about firearms
legislation and there's a lot
I don't support if it doesn't make
sense. And by the way,
3D printing isn't the only way to do it.
There's machine shops anywhere up and
down the state of California throughout
all 50 states in this country. They
really wanted to create a firearm
overnight, tonight, or probably dozens
of them
without serial numbers and they do. Some
do, you know, people are out there DOJ
and so forth trying to catch them. It's
not okay though. So [snorts] I
understand the arguments of hey look,
you got to get the
the criminal, the felon, not don't go
after with 3D printers.
You know,
someone might say this is a statement
bill, you're just making a statement
that you don't want guns being 3D
printed. It is.
It's I think it wants to create
a situation where that's not happening,
but I also think it's a statement almost
like if you put a if you put a
a warning on the side of every 3D
printer that said, "It is illegal to to
use this device
to to create a firearm um
you know,
as as they've been defined in California
code." So,
I don't know how you segregate BB guns.
I don't really recommend
anymore even though I grew up with them
um promulgating a whole bunch of toy
guns or chocolate guns or things like
that to give to your kids um
unless you want to put them through full
gun training and but I'm going to
support it today just because as, you
know,
I chair the outdoor caucus here. I just
don't see the need and I apologize for
those who do, but I we have a difference
of opinion on that. I just don't see
that I have a need when hunting season
starts next month in California to have
a 3D
produced firearm. I do understand that
people want to have freedom in terms
just like Wozniak did in terms of
experimenting with things you could
produce
>> The part where he says like maybe you
could disagree with me, maybe you don't.
I don't see why you need a 3D printed
gun to go hunting.
Where did somebody ask for a 3D
[screaming] printed gun to go hunting?
Where?
You [ __ ] idiot.
How the [ __ ] do these people make laws
for anybody? 254 people showed up. 254
people on the beside that was opposed to
this bill. How many of them even
mentioned using a gun for shooting?
Almost everybody that showed up that was
in favor of this bill was a liberal
Democrat Californian that hates guns.
>> Hello, my name is Scott Seaver. I'm a
mechanical engineer, lifelong California
resident, Democrat, supporter of
effective gun control, and I strongly
oppose this bill.
>> What the [ __ ]
That is the biggest piece of straw man
[ __ ]
Did that He's sleeping.
The entire testimony, I didn't post the
whole thing here. It just sounds like he
wasn't even there for half of it. What
the [ __ ] Then there's the part where
the bill author got asked a basic
[ __ ] question on what type of 3D
printers this applies to, and she
couldn't answer it. And you can see
she's like shuffling through her papers
going, "Um um um." Because she doesn't
know how to use a 3D printer. She
wouldn't know how to plug it in.
>> Just so I'm clear, uh Assembly member,
is your your bill is applying to all 3D
printers, right? So, those that print in
plastic, metal, sugar, etc.
So,
if
>> Yes.
>> Sorry. I'm trying to keep protocol here.
Um so, uh
Can I if Yeah, let me answer that in 1
second, and then um
>> And you know, the the the the cherry on
the cake of all this is the woman that
is pushing for a bill that would require
that your 3D printer connect to the
manufacturer to server to see every
single [ __ ] thing that you print is
the chair of privacy for the state. I'm
not kidding. I didn't realize this, but
the woman pushing this bill actually is
a chair of privacy for the entire state
of California, the fourth biggest
economy in the world, and she is the one
that is pushing for your personal
property to literally report to the
state every [ __ ] thing that you do
with it, whether you are printing a
trigger for a gun or you are printing a
trigger for your hose because they look
the same. What the [ __ ]
And even she realizes it. Listen to her
voice.
>> And at the same time, I think we have
real concerns about privacy and data
right now, as the chair of privacy would
so so well know.
Um thank you, Mr. Chair. Um yes, and to
your point, as the chair of privacy, who
defends the privacy of Californians, and
I believe I do,
um
>> Listen to the disappointment that she
has in herself as she should.
>> defends the privacy of Californians and
I believe I do um
>> The way she sounded there, there's a
character that I play on the channel
every now and then. You may have heard
it from time to time. It's a fictional
character that's just an amalgamation of
many different people.
>> Excuse me, sir.
I'm Louis Rossmann. Can I please have
some right to repair?
>> And they go, "No." That's the closest
I've ever heard in real life to somebody
actually reminding me of my made-up
character.
>> I know I'm supposed to be the privacy
chair and I want to violate the privacy
of every person who uses a 3D printer in
the fourth largest economy in the world.
But I think I care about privacy. Don't
you, Blackberry?
Please.

were in favor of the bill.

chapter of the California Pistol and
Rifle's Association. We are in

Is there anyone else?
>> Chair members, my name is Alvaro
Rodriguez. I'm a ledge advocate ACLU Cal
Action. While we are appreciative of the
committee amendments, we continue have
strong concerns with AB 2047.
To start, this bill poses grave risk to
many users of 3D printers and their
right to privacy. Just yesterday, the
Supreme Court reaffirmed an individual's
right to reasonable expectation of
privacy in Chatri V. United States. In a
concurring opinion, Justice Gorsuch
wrote that one's papers or effects was
understood at the time of the Fourth
Amendment adoption to embrace most of
any kind of personal property.
This unequivocally includes one's 3D
printer, and every owner of a 3D printer
holds the right to reasonable
expectation of privacy when printing in
their own home.
And if the government suspects an
individual violating the law by 3D
printing ghost guns, they can obtain a
search warrants rather than mandating a
dystopian scanning tool that constantly
monitors what people do in the privacy
of their own homes.
This newly required algorithm contains
troubling similarities to efforts by
governments and corporations to either
break end-to-end encryption or include
constant scanning technology on people's
electronic devices.
At the ACLU, we warned of the dangers
that this technology brings and how it
may be exploited to conduct far-reaching
surveillance.
Mandating an algorithm that scans for
possible printing of a ghost gun poses
similar risk. And the question is where
will this constant surveillance
monitoring or every move end?
Once this scan scanning algorithm is in
place, it could be abused by governments
or corporations to prevent socially or
politically sensitive 3D printed
designs, infringing on our civil
liberties.
This type of software creates a
permanent backdoor into the privacy of
our own homes ripe for exploitation.
And once this new infrastructure exists,
it is a simple software update away from
tracking political dissent or preventing
3D printed designs deemed inappropriate.
We remain skeptical of any software that
contains a client-side scanning system
that is purportedly only designed to
capture specific files as this software
invades the privacy of users with 3D
printers who will, by necessity, have
everything they print scanned and
approved by an opaque algorithm. For
these reasons, we respectfully urge a
strong no vote on this bill.
>> Thank you very much.
And thank you everybody for showing up
because you demonstrated a point when
you showed up.
You demonstrated that you could show up
and they're not going to listen to you.
>> Maybe 2047 by our K hand motion is to
pass as amended to appropriations.
Again?
>> Aye. I. Sayarto?
>> Uh no.
>> Sayarto, no. Caballero?
>> Since
>> Lear, I. Cortese?
>> I.
>> Cortese, I. Peraza?
Wiener?
>> I.
>> Wiener, I.
>> We'll keep that bill on call for absence
of Senator
>> Thank you, Senator.
>> For that one guy who voted no, I want
you to listen to him because he seems to
actually understand that he doesn't
understand enough to vote yes on this.
He doesn't strike me as a 3D printing
expert. He strikes me as somebody that
has some basic common sense that he
shouldn't poke with and destroy an
entire industry based over a problem
that does not exist.
>> Thank you very much. All right. So, I'm
going to get away from the technical
stuff. And I'm going to think like a
little criminal, okay?
Um I want to make ghost guns. And I have
my little 3D printer at home. I know
it's illegal. I'm going to make my
little ghost gun or whatever it is.
You say it's illegal. I already know it.
I'm already breaking the law.
Now you tell me, "Oh, we're going to
come in and make you put a thing in
there." I'm not going to. I'm going to
put it in the closet.
Or if I want to go buy one, I'm going to
go out of state. I'm going to buy one.
I'm going to put it in the back of my
truck underneath a blanket. I'm going to
bring it in.
And I'm going to continue to do what's
illegal because I don't care that it's
illegal.
That's That's not going to stop somebody
who is
is doing this. In other words, this bill
like this is ineffective
in its you know, trying to get people
that already don't really care what the
law is
uh to stop what they're doing.
Uh all it's going to do is have
potential real ramifications for people
that use this technology in advancing
the technology while while other players
come in to try to install things that
they don't know are going to work. The
The witness that I think knows a lot
about this has already given us the
lowdown on how effective this stuff is.
So, you know, just like the gun laws
that come up against the Second
Amendment, you can't keep passing things
that are against the Constitution cuz
they're just not legal. And when you do
pass things like this, okay, you know,
have you been able to stop them? No.
It's illegal. And yet, what are we
finding? We're finding that people are
making them. So, what do we do?
We go after those people.
We go after those people.
This isn't going to help us do that.
This isn't going to change anything. All
this is going to do is potentially
create
big problems for people that legally use
this type of technology.
We don't have the technology to say
that that that the printer is going to
recognize that this is a Oh, wait a
minute. This guy is doing a ghost gun.
So, somehow we're going to grind the
whole thing to a halt.
It's not there.
And and I haven't heard anybody tell me
that it is.
I've heard you tell me it's 4 years
away.
Um
that means nothing
to me. This is an ineffective
with way too many
way too much collateral damage that's
possible to
burgeoning industry out there for a lot
of people that are very creative people,
by the way, that their livelihood
depends on this technology. So, again,
you need to go after the people that are
breaking laws, not after the technology
that they use because they'll continue
to use that technology whether you make
new laws that affect everything else or
not.
>> There is hope though. There is hope.
There's one person that did not vote on
this yet. There was that woman that
said, "Hey, listen, I just read this
yesterday. I don't really know a lot
about it." Who started asking her good
questions, and then she said this. She
said, "I know somebody in my district
who's actually very concerned about
this, and even though I can I care about
gun control, I care about what my
constituents say."
>> And I I asked these questions because I
think one of the main concerns that I've
heard, you know, from my constituent is
I think out of all these things and the
questions that he had was just about the
surveillance issue. And are we
essentially creating like a a system
where we are tracking everybody that
happens to own a 3D printer, including
individuals like himself. The individual
I'm talking about lives in the city of
Monterey Park. I represent the city of
Monterey Park, if you're familiar. We
had a mass shooting that happened about
4 years ago. Um and had a number of
individuals who died as a result of that
mass shooting. This is an issue that he
cares a lot about personally, but also
has these questions about privacy as
well. I'm I'm not quite sure how you
resolve that. The issue that has been
raised to me that I'm trying to navigate
as somebody that obviously wants to keep
our community safe. And at the same
time, I think we have real concerns
about privacy and data right now, as the
chair of privacy would so so well know.
>> Here's what Anne had to say about that,
and I agree with her.
>> I'd like to point out the senator who
talked about a specific person who lives
in her district that talked to her and
sent a message about
this person
giving her both sides of the argument
and telling her in their own words why
this bill was concerning to them. And I
think that really speaks to how
important a single person calling in
could potentially be. And so, I want
everyone to take this as a lesson.
If you win, you call all of the offices
of the senators, especially the senator
whose district you live in. Speak
specifics. Say, "I live in this city.
This concerns me for this reason." Like,
bring it Make sure that you say your
background. Make yourself human. Don't
just call in and say, "I vote this."
They're not looking at a tally of how
many people call in. They're looking for
it really personal stories like this
that kind of speak to them and speak to
the other assembly members that they can
bring in and kind of from the business
perspective, these senators, this is
their full-time job. Like all of us that
work in corporate, we're we're kind of
pushed to
show that we're show that we're
listening to people, show that we're
providing impact. These people are the
same way. They're this is their job.
They're trying to prove to everyone else
in the room that they're doing their job
well, they're providing impact, they're
working for the people of California,
and you need to help them do their job.
If you make their job easy, that's what
moves the needle.
>> Yeah, absolutely. That's a great way of
putting it. Love that, Anne.
It's true. It's absolutely true. I mean,
that's the thing. That's why it's
important to call your representatives,
especially yeah, we'll we'll get you
locally. Like it makes a difference
because they care locally. You know, all
the rhetoric about people not, it's not.
You need to make it personal for them
and more importantly, you need to make
it easy for them to say that they're
doing their job. That person when they
went up there, that person that emailed
her is now going to see, "Wow, wait. You
represent like 80,000 people and you
mentioned me personally while in my
concern while you were on this panel?
Wow, you actually care about me. I'm
voting for you again. And I'm going to
tell everybody around me to vote for you
again." Now, here's the note that I
have. David brought up a point and it's
an uncomfortable point, but it needs to
be brought up anyway. Why the [ __ ] are
we the two people doing the most
organizing of everybody there?
No, seriously, why? There's one dude
from the ACLU, there's me, and there's
David. Like the We're trying to get all
these different people to show up. Don't
get me wrong, I appreciate the [ __ ] out
of every single person that showed up
yesterday and last week. Thank you very
much. But, there's a really important
conversation to be had here. Please like
hear me out. Why is it that it's like
mostly David, myself,
that are getting people to show up to
this? Why is it mostly us?
There are 3D printer companies that make
millions to tens of millions to hundreds
of millions of dollars in this industry,
and there's just been crickets from all
of them. And David brings up a good
point. All the other influencers out
there that are starting to make content
about this. I know Grant at 3D
Musketeers is putting out stuff.
3D Professor better have made something
if he hasn't. I'm going to give him a
piece of my mind. He's a friend. All
these people are starting to do stuff.
And I'll tell you right now why you
don't see the biggest 3D printing
companies here right now with you
because they are scared out of their
mind of going against a bill that has
firearm in the title. That's why I asked
them flat out is he is this just because
it's firearm in the title? Call that out
to people. Call out the the stuff in the
room. It's not a conspiracy. People have
told me they don't want to go against a
firearm bill because the optics. Because
oh my god you're against this. When I
first started this opposition, my friend
runs the Department of Children and
Family Youth Services for the City of
San Francisco and she was like what the
hell are you doing? I can't support you.
You're on your own. I said did you read
the bill? No. They are afraid of being
seen as pro ghost gun as a result of
showing up.
I don't care. I don't care if the 3D
printer companies are offended at the
message I'm putting forth in this video.
Since I started going over Bambu Lab
stuff, I've gotten three offers to get
three free 3D printers from three
separate companies. I turned down two of
them at first and then the last one I
wound up turning down when I sensed that
there was a string attached to it and I
just want nothing to do with that. But I
don't have sponsors on my channel. So
because I don't have sponsors, I can say
it for what it is. You need to stand up
for your [ __ ] industry. You need to
be doing at least 1/10 the work that
David Tobin is out there doing for you.
If you don't do that work, then some of
the largest economies in the world are
not going to be able to sell your
printers anymore. Or you're going to
have to sell your printer with blocking
technology built into it, which means
that you're going to have to rework your
entire [ __ ] 3D printer using closed
source software. Or you're going to have
to break open source software licenses
to start putting locks inside of things
and then you're probably going to get
dragged to court over something else. Or
you're going to have to stop selling
your printers to some of the world's
largest economies because you didn't
speak up now.
And that's on you.
And when I say you, I don't mean just
one company. I mean every single company
that benefits from 3D printing that is
afraid of being seen as a Luigi
Mangione. Who, by the way, didn't even
use a [ __ ] fully 3D printed gun. He
used 3D printed parts attached to a
bunch of metal parts. I already talked
about that in the last video. The point
is, you all need to start showing up. It
can't just be me and my merry band of
YouTube commenters that show up. No
offense to all of them. It needs to be
the actual companies involved in this.
The companies that make these products
need to send their representatives out,
need to send their owners, their chief
technological officers out to explain
why these bills are not good. I don't
care if you're afraid of being seen as
somebody who's trying to influence
American politics. I don't care if
you're afraid of being seen as
pro-second amendment or pro-gun or any
of that. If you are afraid of how you
are going to be perceived, then you are
letting your opposition frame the
arguments and you are letting them win.
Never accept the premise of [ __ ]
These people are trying to destroy your
[ __ ] industry and you just hope that
it's going to go away. It's not going to
go away. Most people are not talking
about this. David is right. It's only
just now, after David came out, that you
see all these other 3D printer channels
that are starting to talk about this in
a way that they weren't before. There's
a lot of influencers that are afraid of
alienating brands. There are brands that
are afraid of going into a territory
where they may be perceived as being
political. Life is political. At the end
of the day, what is politics? It's
people coming together to make rules
about how you live your life. And if you
don't take part in those discussions,
then you may be harmed when those rules
that come out don't make any sense and
[ __ ] up your life, which is why you need
to come out and you need to say
something, not just us. I don't know
jack [ __ ] about 3D printing. I really
don't. I just started researching this
[ __ ] less than a month ago and people
started emailing me saying, "I don't
know why there's not more people talking
about this." I started talking about it
cuz I didn't see anybody else talking
about it. And when David said he needed
help and he was on his own, he gave me
his number, I called him back within
half an hour while I was eating my
quesadilla and I put off the rest of my
work day for it. It was awesome. I mean,
I put this out, it was Ethan over at the
OC Maker Faire sent me Lewis's email. I
sent an email, Lewis called me right
away and said, "How can I help?"
Together we got over 200 [ __ ] people
to show up in opposition to this and it
wasn't enough. We need more help. If you
work at a company like SpaceX, if you're
the CTO of SpaceX and you're reading
this and you think, "Man, this really
sucks. This is really [ __ ] bad. We're
going to have less students. We're going
to have less people that know how to use
this hardware if this bill comes out."
Show up. If you run a 3D printing
company, [ __ ] if you run Bambu Labs for
all I give a [ __ ] I can't stand you
people, but you know what? I'll stand
there right next to you while you oppose
this. If you work at Bambu Labs, if
you're a CTO there, show up. From Prusa
Research, show up. From any one of these
other companies. It's not enough to hit
a thumbs up emoji in a group chat with
other people who are showing up. You
need to do what Marlene did. When
Marlene explained, "I'm not a fan of
guns. This is not my thing. But when I
saw what was going on, I had to come
out." And she pointed out in private,
"Yeah, you know, I was explaining to
some people that I knew. They're like,
'What are you flying to California for?'
'Oh yeah, I'm flying there to be in
opposition to something that claims to
be about gun control." And her friends
are like, "Oh, why?" And then like she
had Yeah, it's a difficult conversation.
It's an awkward conversation. And you're
going to have to explain it to them.
It's not gun control, it's manufacturing
control. If you don't do something now,
enjoy living in a future where you can't
sell your products across the United
States of America. Cuz this [ __ ] just
got introduced in Delaware. It's already
being pushed through in California. It
already got pushed and passed in New
York. How many other economies do you
not want to be able to sell 3D printers
into? I'm going to post the entire thing
along with everybody's comments. And I'm
going to try to post something together
that's that includes as much as possible
for the next video. Give me some time
for that. It just take There's a lot of
editing to be done. And I I am a a
one-man band for the most part, as you
could tell by the the crappy camera
work. So, I I I do what I can. My
apologies for not having the time for
it. I'm also going to get over to the
Stop Killing Games thing that happened
on Monday. I've wanted to go over that.
I have wanted to dig into it. I've been
traveling and doing a lot of other
stuff. That's it for today. And as
always, I hope you learned something.
Don't stop showing up. Listen to what
Anne said.
Just because it passed here does not
mean it's going to pass in the state. In
order for that to happen, the senators
all have to vote on it. And there's
still time for you to contact your
senator and let them know that I'm not
voting for you next election. And I'm
going to vote for whoever the opposite
of you in the primary. I'm going to vote
for whoever your opposition is
afterwards.
They need to believe that. They need to
believe that they are this close to
losing their seat over this one issue.
They need to believe that it's not just
safe just because it has the word gun in
it.
That's for today. As always, hope you
learned something. See you in the next
video. Bye now.
Ask follow-up questions or revisit key timestamps.
The video provides an overview of a California committee hearing concerning a bill that aims to mandate tracking software in 3D printers to detect firearm parts. The narrator, Louis Rossmann, argues that the proposed legislation is technologically infeasible, an invasion of privacy, and a threat to the hobbyist and professional 3D printing industry.
