@awilbert@mastodon.social This has been the stupidest thing I've come across in a while and I do come across stupid stuff daily. This is one of those cases, where someone with absolutely no basic logic or critical thinking abilities tries to come up with a silver bullet solution to a problem where the genie has already out the bottle. I can think of so many ways to trivially circumvent this law and its limitations that it literally hurts. While an average innocent consumer is obviously hurt by all the locking up and limiting this will obviously cause, an actual criminal will just go "huh, I better drive to the next state and bring myself an unlimited one". Or just reflash the thing with unlimited software, that will be guaranteed to surface very soon after. I also hope they also include all the metal work tools in this limitation so no one can produce any metal guns out of raw materials.
