> New York Governor Kathy Hochul defended the state’s ban on 3D-printed guns after Cody Wilson introduced “Hochulization,” a tool that changes the hashes of gun-design files to evade detection systems without changing their function. Hochul said she would not allow the tool to undermine the law, while acknowledging concerns about digital surveillance.
