Not sure about the California bill, but the similar shit out of Washington state does have language for subtractive manufacturing as well as additive. They basically are targeting any computer controlled manufacturing.
It all feels so obviously stupid when there are people on the internet selling partially complete metal parts with instructions for how to finish them completely unrestricted. They obviously aren’t worried about stopping the “ghost gun problem”, they are worried about people having the means of production and the right to repair things they own.
Two States, California and Washington, are not “The US” any more than France and Germany are the European Union. They are important no doubt but they do not themselves represent the entire entity.
I see this constantly on the internet. “Some backwater Podunk state puts the 10 commandments in classrooms” becomes “The US puts the 10 commandments in classrooms”. It’s like people don’t understand how this country is architected.

Ok so aluminum casting is still OK.
This is the sad state of the US I guess.

Yep it’s tiring but comment aged link milk because the very next day a bill was introduced to Congress.
