If you’re in CA, definitely leave messages for your state senator and assemblyperson. I already did and their staffers replied that they got the message.

This and AB1043/AB1856 just make me so mad. These politicians apparently think they can threaten fines upon the open source community and coerce us into implementing their poorly researched laws.

It’s like in a toxic workplace when a non-technical manager agrees to a questionable assignment on your behalf, without your consent, and tells the stakeholder oh yeah, no problem, that’ll take 2 weeks.

This has been discussed already and we all know it is impossible to implement. It's also perplexing[1] that suddenly the government care bout ghost guns when we have tons of illegal firearms responsible for thousands of deaths every year in the USA which were legally manufactured right here in the good ol US of A.

A better question is how do we fight these stupid laws and the idiots who implement them? Voting doesn't seem to work and writing your representative also seems like it doesn't work.

[1] We know this is because of the killing of Brian Thompson by Luigi Mangione. Clearly the rich people are scared if this is suddenly being pushed but it puzzles me why they are now scared of ghost guns when I can get a gun off the street and buy or make a suppressor. Hell, there are suppressor adapters that let you screw a new automotive oil filter on the end which works well. To me, ghost guns are a nothingburger.
