Screw Background Checks. Just print yourself a gun!
 

You'll need the right equipment and materials, but I think this fully demonstrates the folly of regulating / banning things, especially things that a would prompt a healthy black market to spring to life. Just think, instead of a still up in the hills 1920's Prohibition - style, you'd have a CAD and small manufacturing operation. The finished product would be a lot easier to conceal and transport, too.

Will we ever learn?? :rolleyes:

So the only solution is to become a civilized society of honest people.

Probably easier for the dish to run away with the spoon as the cow jumps over the moon.

I think I hear the sound of a can of worms being opened.

Here's your can of worms.

Fear mongering.

The media played the same game with the story that Glocks were plastic and could get through metal detectors.

Man this shit is getting old.

Great. Here comes the end of civilization.

I would think, just like any other electronic transmission, the source could be tracked down, hacked and blocked. Any illegal gun manufacturer would have to stay on the move to make it work, much like other terrorists must constantly change devices and IP adresses to avoid being tracked down. I guess it could be done, but it would be a PITA.

Dave

These 3D guns are useless without a factory barrel.

It's been a while since I left the plastics processing business. But, in the 12 years I was in it I never met a resin capable of handling the repeated shock loads or heat that a decent gun would generate under heavy use without deforming at the very least. There would have to be a steel chamber and barrel of some sort.

I'm guessing this printable gun is a POS, good for one shot at best.

Dave

I can see a nerf ball from my house! pew pew!

Anything other than a hardened steel barrel will not handle the 60,000 psi chamber pressures, nor will the rifling hold up to a projectile going through it at 3,000 fps.

As for the OP, I suppose he also supports legalizing crystal meth, as it is also possible to make it at home.

You can't set up shop and make your own Glock, Ed.

Nope. I'm not among the liberal crowd looking to legalize drugs, Finn.

What are you saying?

Anyone can set up shop and make metal guns. All the BATF had on David Koresh was that he had a lathe. We were supposed to be afraid of that, too.

Be afraid of lathes.
Be afraid of 3D modeling machines.
Be afraid of airplanes.
Be afraid of public gatherings.
Be afraid of Muslims.
Be afraid, be afraid, be afraid.

It's all Nietzschean bullshit coming out of the neocons. Their theory is that fear makes people work harder. Now they are probably on Wall Street monitoring web traffic to see who has the best defense against 3D modeling machines so they can cash in on the idea before they take the company public and dump the stupid crap on blue collar workers' 401k fund managers.

I'm sick of the f*ckers.

I bet they picked on Koresh because of his religion. Same with the way they are using the Bible Belt to further their agenda. Same with the way they are trying to paint the Amish in bad light with stupid TV shows like Breaking Amish. Same with the way they tricked the US military to further their agenda in the Middle East.

Amish? Really? What did the Amish ever do to anyone?

If the neocons think they will ever get another vote from me they have another thing coming. They can take their media, their TV cameras, their Ferraris, their whatever, and shove it.

From your OP:

You'll need the right equipment and materials, but I think this fully demonstrates the folly of regulating / banning things, especially things that a would prompt a healthy black market to spring to life.

How is that any different from crystal meth? FWIW, kids have been able to build zip guns for decades now. Should we just let them buy pistols now without age limits or background checks? Your logic (or lack thereof) is pretty damned wobbly, Whell.

At least it's consistent... :rolleyes:

Zing! :D

For that matter, the Boston bombers were able to build and detonate homemade bombs. I suppose Whell's logic would also call for now allowing dynamite and hand grenades to be sold in sporting goods stores without background checks. Feckin' brilliant.

Git Some! :D

Has Boreas hacked Pat's account?;)

Nah, I'm just murderous on red herrings and straw men.

I'd bet a healthy sum that that dipshit would have no idea how to load and fire the gun he's holding (and that's exactly the kind of gun that actually is addressed by the Founders in the 2nd Amendment).

Glenn Beck. Furthering the agenda of scribbling in our lawbooks under the guise of deregulation.

He's a breathing example of a demagnetized moral compass.

Built me two damn nice barns, a 16 x 24 for storage and the lawn tractor and an 8 x 10 as a carriage house for the golf cart.:)

Want a match.:)

No joke!:D

Then, what's this?

"I think this fully demonstrates the folly of regulating / banning things..."

I thought "banning things" is "folly"?:confused:

Dave

Go ahead, Glenn. Take up arms against the U.S. Government. That will give us an excuse to kill you, you stupid bastard.

Dave

He would have a much greater chance of shooing himself. I doubt he knows the difference between a muzzle and a butt plate. I love to see him shoot a scope-mounted .338 Win Mag. He'd look great with his forehead laid open.:eek:

Just one minor, minor little difference I guess. At least for now, owning a firearm is still legal. Owning crystal meth is not.

Also, it seems that federal firearms laws have not been effective to date at keeping guns put of the hands of kids. I've not tried recently, but I bet I could find some kids in possession of crystal meth. Why do you think that is, Finn?

Has banning anything worked yet? Did banning alcohol work? What do you think banning handguns would accomplish?

It would chafe the hell out of rednecks and wingnuts. And that' makes it all worth it for me. I just LOVE watching them lose. :p

Dave

It's no wonder that libertarians want to legalize drugs. That way they can point and say, 'why regulate anything?'

I can hear 'em now, "You can pry my little penis extender out of my cold dead hands!" Friggin' jack offs.:rolleyes:

Most libs want to legalize drugs too. That way they can point to the Libertarians and cheer them on.

Other than cannabis, I have to call bullshit on that one for several reasons, Whell.
Liberals want nothing to do with legalizing hard drugs. Overwhelmingly they see drug addiction as more of a health issue than a criminal issue. I don't have any idea where you're getting your info but the notion that liberals want to decriminalize drugs is just a crazy idea.

Cannabis should not only be legal, but required.:p

Dave

Dope will get you through times of....how did the rest of that go?:D

Maybe we can print some new congressmen and senators with one of those 3D printers. Would be about as effective of a government.

And as smart.

Seeing how there is legislation on the books that bans non-metal weapons already. What do you propose we do? A “Double Ban” :rolleyes:
