San Diego County authorities say Polymaker made a "strategic business choice" to market and sell 3-D printer filament to Californians for the express purpose of building illegal weapons.

San Diego County jumped into California’s sprawling ghost gun fight this week, suing a 3-D printing filament manufacturer it says hocks material for homespun firearms in violation of state law.

Working with the Giffords Law Center, the county counsel sued manufacturer Polymaker, alleging the company made a “strategic business choice” to market and sell 3-D printer filament to Californians for the express purpose of building illegal weapons. The polymer filament is sold in spools that feed into 3-D printers, allowing the devices to form designs created by their owners.

    I can’t help but feel like these people don’t know the first thing about how 3d printing actually works.

    Totally. Brought to you by the same brilliant minds that claimed all videogames besides Tetris were simply “murder simulators” and school-shooter training programs. 🙄

    Why do the most wasted brains have so much influence…
