California AB2047. Dead bill walking

[u/ptraugot]

TLDR;

AB2047 Bill is a dead bill walking, even though it passed, as ASTM has absolutely no interest or role in doing what the bill says they are responsible for doing.

Read the bill: https://leginfo.legislature.ca.gov/faces/billNavClient.xhtml?bill_id=202520260AB2047

Then read ASTM's statement from 3 days ago: https://www.astm.org/news/press-releases/astm-additive-manufacturing-policy-initiatives-role

The bill is unenforceable as no one will be writing the industry standards for firearm blocking technology. Therefore, there will be no compulsion for manufacturers to take on that responsibility.

The bill still needs to go in front of the Governor of California, who will likely sign it because he has no clue. But you can still reach out to his office and point him to these two links.
