All those must be shipped, all those go through customs... That is, for the legal way of obtaining them
If it's illegal, well it can warrant a death penalty on the spot, depending on the jurisdiction
Thats true but we can also see this strategy not working currently on other things that have been banned. These quadcopters and stuff you can really build out of a raspberry pi and brushless motors you can make your own speed controllers. Same for the 3d printers all you need is some 8020 and stepper motors. This stuff is ubiquitously available and there will be huge secondary consequences to trying to make those types of components illegal to posses.
I'm still not convinced this is necessarily going to turn at our advantage, to put it simply I mean they can play the tech game too, and they can use "dangerous tech" as an excuse too for power grab
