I hope the courts strike this down. Shows exactly how thorough our leadership is being these days (this is quite dumb, and impossible).
Take this a one natural step further.
This would be a very bad precedent and eliminate the viability of legitimate 3d printing industries which today would include almost all manufacturing (if broadly adopted both in and outside the state).
For example, CNC, EDM, and other machining that utilizes such positioning technology will now have to comply. There is also no intent inherent in a shape. A shaped spring or other component for motion transfer can just as easily be used in a gun as it can be used in millions of other devices including engines.
