Baker Boy 1,489 Posted July 20, 2018 3D-printed gun blueprints can be downloaded starting next month, ending lengthy legal battle Blueprints for 3D-printed guns can be downloaded next month following a landmark Department of Justice settlement with Second Amendment advocates. Defense Distributed, a non-profit defense firm, will offer the blueprints for download starting Aug. 1 following a multi-year legal battle with the federal government. http://www.foxnews.com/tech/2018/07/20/3d-printed-gun-blueprints-can-be-downloaded-starting-next-month-ending-lengthy-legal-battle.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tanatastic 2,061 Posted July 20, 2018 Good, cuz Obammie just came and took all muh guns. I have RAITS yew know! MAI RAIIIIGHTS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted July 20, 2018 wtf lol Lol what Im saying is its a bad idea. On another note, apparently its hella expensive to get a printer with the capabilities of making one of these guns. Still, bad idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,394 Posted July 20, 2018 So, is there anybody that can honestly say this is a good thing?Bad people do bad things. This will change nothing. ETA - it's already super easy to make a gun at home, but you probably didn't even know that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandrus1 413 Posted July 20, 2018 Bad people do bad things. This will change nothing. ETA - it's already super easy to make a gun at home, but you probably didn't even know that I do know.. but the same can't be said of a gun with no metal parts that can not be detected with a metal detector Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tanatastic 2,061 Posted July 20, 2018 Won’t a gun made of whatever that stuff is just melt when it’s fired off a few times? Stuff gets really hot. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted July 20, 2018 I do know.. but the same can't be said of a gun with no metal parts that can not be detected with a metal detector The ammunition would set it off. Also, dogs are trained to sniff gun powder and explosives. They could pick it up Still, its a bad idea. Reason being not only the ease of getting one but they wont have serial numbers on them so they are untraceable Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Reason being not only the ease of getting one but they wont have serial numbers on them so they are untraceable Amunition would set it off in a walk through but it would be very easy to disguise in a carry on/ checked bag. And I don't fly a lot but I have never had my canny on sniffed by a dog Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And I don't fly a lot but I have never had my canny on sniffed by a dog No the ammunition in carry ons are easy to detect. Scanner picks those up easily. I had to get trained on one when in the military during my deployment. At least the one we had could easily detect it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bandrus1 413 Posted July 20, 2018 Since you have experience and I have none... In a packed carry on bag how can u see the difference between let's say a rifle cartridge and a metal lip stick dispenser.. I'm curious how they show differently Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Djgb13 2,338 Posted July 20, 2018 Since you have experience and I have none... In a packed carry on bag how can u see the difference between let's say a rifle cartridge and a metal lip stick dispenser.. I'm curious how they show differently You can actually see stuff in the scanner. It penetrates all kinds of stuff. For ammunition you can actually see the shape of it on the screen. Naturally, if you suspect something youll pull the bag out and inspect it. So if a metal lipstick dispenser pops up but you dont know thats what it is you just take the bag out and inspect it. But most of the time you can see through containers. Google airport bag scanner images and youll see what Im talking about. Edit: nvm here you go. Page wouldnt pull up to where I could look at the images but its working now https://goo.gl/images/zjvFrx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mmmmm...beer 691 Posted July 21, 2018 Since you have experience and I have none... In a packed carry on bag how can u see the difference between let's say a rifle cartridge and a metal lip stick dispenser.. I'm curious how they show differently They are different... i fly armed monthly.. at times they've asked if they could run my bag through to test the guys.

Cloaca du jour 2,066 Posted July 21, 2018 Lol...this is a perfect example of omg...the end is near....we are doomed... I can make a zip gun that shoots shotgun shells for under 10 bucks. I dont need no 3d printer to put a hole in someone if I am so inclined. Who gives a sheeit they can print a 3d gun? Too impractical Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wiffleball 4,652 Posted July 21, 2018 Yeah, for all the reasons above, this seems like a really bad idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I dont need no 3d printer to put a hole in someone if I am so inclined. Who gives a sheeit they can print a 3d gun? Too impractical I imagine that criminal organizations that do a good bit of killing would be highly interested in an untraceable gun that can easily be destroyed. I imagine that the idea of a gun that doesnt set of metal detectors would interest terrorists and such. Its a horrible idea. There is no good reason for it. But it doesnt matter, Im sure the blueprints are easily available on the dark web anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
