Does someone have the plans to print a tank. Maybe an aircraft carrier. Sorry not interested in these little guns

Stop posting in it. Problem solved.

maybe if you used sarcasm correctly when writing it people would understand it. Go back into mommy's basement and think of the next cute thing to say.

Yes, 3d printing is and will be YUGE, but printing guns will become more problematic. Don't think for once that the pro-gun manufacturing machine (not you, the average citizen) isn't trying to figure out ways to close the legal loop holes that allow it.

Legal loopholes don't "allow" it.
People have made "homemade" guns since the first guns were ever made.
It isn't that difficult to do. The Chinese were doing it in the 13th century.
People in the modern world can do it much easier with or without a 3d printer.

The govt. is already overreaching in just about every way into our lives. They no longer "govern", but attempt to rule.
Some things work out that way to the good. Some things don't.

But looking at this as if it's something that a legal loophole "allows" isn't realistic.

That's like saying a legal loophole "allows" you to use your intelligence to do just about anything.

I think what you mean is that the govt. should try to find some way to overstep themselves again and try to make something else illegal to add to the thousands of laws that we already have.

Personally, I think the best law is the one that says if you shoot somebody it's a crime. And if you kill somebody it's murder. At least those laws make sense to enforce.
All this other stuff is just unenforceable.
No matter what the govt. does, if a person wants a gun they will get one...or just make one.

Besides the government isn't supposed to be doing all these things. It's supposed to govern, not rule.

With all due respect, a musket is quite different than an AR-15.

Your also missing my point. This recent bust is a just a taste of whats about to unfold. This is going to be about pressure coming from the same folks who claim to be about your right to bear arms.... the NRA, the gun lobbyists, and the manufacturers. Do you honestly think they want you to stop buying their products when you can print one of your own?

Its the lower you have to have registered (this is the part that has the seriel number), unless you buy an 80% and drill out the slots yourself. Then you dont need to do shit but enjoy. I have built AR's but never from an 80% lower.

People have been making homemade guns every year since the beginning of guns. They were making them last year, 2 years ago, 5 years ago, 10 years ago...not exactly "muskets" like you are insinuating.
No need for a 3d printer. It's just a very simple thing to make.

As for the NRA...you seem a little obsessed with them. So I'll tell you what I think: I don't think that a person building their own gun gives a damn what the NRA says or doesn't say. And neither do I.
Why do you seem to care so much?

Print my nut sack!

No, ceramic, plastics.

The 'glock' is a commonly used hand gun while travelling as the ceramic does not set alarms, they also have only several parts, so easy to take apart. The only part is the steel spring.

i think you've watched die hard 2 too many times.

none of this is true. glock is not ceramic, it has dozens of metal parts.

Same for me. I fucking love guns. I've forgotten more about shooting and hand-loading my own ammo than most people on this board will ever know.

But that doesn't mean I think it should be easy to own a gun. Nor do I think the NRA is a good thing.
