I about fell out of my chair, laughing last night when the dickhead governor of Maryland proposed banning ghost guns. Do you think he knows why they call them ghost guns? That last gun was used in the movie “in the line of fire.” John Malkovich got through White House security with that gun because it was made out of wood. The metal detector would have detected the bullets, but Malkovich cleverly hid those in his rabbit’s foot keychain, and handed them to the person scanning him. So the scanner actually had the assassin‘s bullets in his hand and didn’t know it. 😎 Had it not been for Clint Eastwood, R California, the president would be dead.
No 3-D printing shouldn't be banned. Creating or owning an unlicensed firearm - 3-D printed or not - should be a Federal felony. Furthermore, using such a weapon that results in death should be another crime. Lastly, using such a weapon during the committing of another felony that results in death should be a capital crime (meaning the death penalty is a possible sentence).
I don't understand why you said that. My comments had nothing to do with immigration or citizenship. Logically, there is no connection between what I wrote and what you implied.
Unless you have a way to find, buy or make functional firing pins then the 3D guns are useless and won't fire the firing pin in the trigger mechanism that kicks the back of the rounds to fire the rounds, usually that's the part that's unavaible every where and it's for the most part the reason why you can 2D print guns because the real gun is that firing pin, you can legit buy every other part of a gun anywhere and even legally but the firing pin.
From Gemini: People who make 3D-printed guns typically obtain their firing pins from a variety of sources, as it's a critical component that cannot be reliably made from plastic. The materials and methods used for a firing pin must withstand the immense pressure and heat of a live round. Here's a breakdown of how they are acquired: * Purchasing Commercial Parts: The most common and reliable method is to buy a standard, commercially manufactured firing pin. Gun parts, with the exception of the legally regulated "receiver" or "frame," are generally not controlled in the same way as a complete firearm. This allows individuals to purchase firing pins and other metal components like barrels and springs from various online retailers and gun parts suppliers. * DIY Manufacturing: Individuals with metalworking skills and equipment, such as a lathe, can fabricate their own firing pins. Common materials for this include: * Steel Rods: High-strength tool-grade steel rods are often used. * Grade 8 Bolts: These are a common and accessible source of high-tensile strength steel. * Old Tools: Materials from old drill bits or other hardened tools can be repurposed. * Repurposing Other Objects: In some designs, especially those with simpler mechanisms, a common object like a nail can be modified to serve as a makeshift firing pin. While some 3D-printed firearm designs may include 3D-printed parts for components like the frame or receiver, they almost always require metal parts for critical functions, such as the firing pin and barrel, to ensure the weapon is functional and doesn't fail catastrophically upon firing.
Yea but jamming will always be an issue with 3D printer firearms, besides if you are going to 3D print guns you are probably better off making like crossbows or something
I’m not singing the praises of 3-D printed guns, but obviously they’re making thousands of them. And as far as the gun jamming, don’t you think that would be the least of the worries for that psychotic tranny?
Maybe in places that have gun control but for normal areas, many people are armed with legal, factory made firearms which many are reliable for not jamming, I've seen videos on 3D printed guns and they all jam, the most I've seen a printed gun shoot is 5 rounds before it jams and that's the most I've seen and that's probably as good as it can get
I’m not sure I get the joke about ghost guns, but considering how many CEOs have been getting offed lately and how much Palantir wants to protect what they have, I’m not surprised they’re talking about banning 3D printers
I couldn’t believe anybody would be dumb enough to actually say they’re going to ban ghost guns. You can’t ban real guns let alone the ghost guns that are untraceable. I’ve never once heard of anybody suggesting banning guns, that had an idea of how to do it. They say it like it’s a bumper sticker or they’re just virtue signaling. Save the whales! Free Palestine!
It's a total myth that you can 3D print a gun. You can 3D print a few specific components that don't require a high level of strength or precision (parts that you could just as easily carve out of wood or whatever). Should the sale of spare gun components (barrels, etc) and ammunition be subject to exactly the same regulation as complete guns? Yes, absolutely (and yes, ideally they should all be banned).
Guns are useful for hunting or on a battlefield. There are other weapons that are more effective depending on the situation. Cross bows for instance don't make much noise. Chemicals are very effective if you have a lot of work to do. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sg_xDcc_s24
Of course not if someone wants to build a gun they don't need a 3d printer to do it. its just authoritarians wanting to tighten their grip on state power in the name of safety as always. Ironically the ones who would be for this type of thing ain't the ones in power and probably won't be.
NO, 3-D printers do a lot of good stuff too, I think a Software update date could stop them from making guns & other things, My dentist has one at his office and he has never made even one gun. Dennis

So many useful things can be made with a 3D printer. We need a way to identify the products that can be made with them. Maybe put some kind of marker in the material that is used in making their products.
@arizonasunshine I set up a 3D printer lab at the college i used to work for. They are pretty amazing. We had a license for Auto CAD and the 3D printer could interface with it.
I tried a water down version of AutoCAD, because I was hoping it would be fairly easy. I was hoping to be able to draw wooden flower planters and maybe a birdhouse. It took me about two hours to figure out how to draw a straight line. So my hat’s off to anyone who can figure that stuff out.
3D printing can be very useful. No, they shouldn't be banned. How about making the software that controls them smarter, to recognize things that would be illegal or dangerous if 3D printed.
Have you ever worked your ass off all week and still not been able to afford anything because the government fucks you in the ass by taking half of everything you make?
