guess what, the state of california on the printer bed, depicted in the article, looks close to the profile of an AR15 pistol grip.

im looking forward to the idea that the outline of Ca. may trigger false positives

Better yet, design and popularize an AR grip that is the state of California

It looks even closer to a California banned "large-capacity" magazine.

now that would be a curious looking AR15 with a california pistol grip, and a california magazine

If this becomes law, it will give rise to a fun new form or protest art in this vain. What is the cutest thing you can design that nobody would consider to be related to guns, but which gets flagged? An obvious example... a llama sitting on the ground, legs hidden, and head held high in the air, chewing its cud. Llamas can be really cute! Sell them on Etsy/eBay/etc., printed by an out-of-state 3D printing service. I just used the EFF form to promise my state senator in Sacramento that I'd send her (and reporters that cover her) one of them if the bill passes.

Conversely, add cute animal models to gun parts.

Maybe it would be possible to just embed a prompt injection into metadata or the STL mesh itself.

Gun is stupidly to make. You just need a robust tube, a small hole in the end to trigger and you are done. Ofc it won't fire good, but still should be considered a gun

I think what will happen is that there will be an explosion in the variety of gun designs.

People will make banana, cucumber, corn, sausage, etc shaped guns.

There will be guns with electronic triggers where the trigger could be a universal TV remote or an RC car remote.

I had the same hunch when I saw it, which is either pure genius on the part of the author/publisher or pure lol meme magic.
