=== Advocacy & Legislative Support: Everytown for Gun Safety ===

Everytown for Gun Safety has served as a principal advocate for upstream regulations that target 3D printer hardware and file distribution. New York's S.9005-C/A.10005-C, signed into law in May 2026, represents a model of printer-blocking regulation.<ref name="pipeline" /> Everytown championed the measure through direct testimony to budget committees, framing the requirement as shutting down the ''plastic pipeline'' of do-it-yourself firearms.<ref name="testimony" /> California's AB 2047, which would require firearm-blocking technology on all printers sold in the state, passed the Assembly in May 2026 with Everytown as a named legislative partner and co-sponsor.<ref name="everytown-ca" />

Everytown for Gun Safety has served as a principal advocate for upstream regulations that target 3D printer hardware and file distribution. Since 2024, the organization has led advocacy in ten separate bills across eight states, supporting both printer-blocking mandates and manufacturing bans.
