New tech always has negative unintended side effects. There was going to be some dick to put the plans up. Since the first one in 2013, there are now 7 different gun plans on the internet with over 100,000 downloads all over the world. The cat is out of the bag on this one, it's our reality from now on. I do not support it but I don't see how to stop this one.
@Boogey no he doesn't care. It made him famous so it's unlikely he ever will but who knows
When he says "doesn't seem to make much sense" I have no idea what he's referring to.
Wouldn't the NRA oppose the whole 3D plastic gun industry as it would probably take a lot of money from their traditional gun manufacturers? (I'm sure they don't give a damn if the guns are used to bring down planes or shoot up schools. It's all about the cash, as always.)
@Boogey So I've heard the printer costs around $250K. Obviously too much for your low level criminal or redneck gunhumper. However, there are still plenty of people who could afford it and start a business selling the guns. I'm sure the criminals and gunhumpers would be happy to pay a little extra for an untraceable, undetectable gun.
@dkp93, that's $250K if you want to make it out of metal. In case anyone is wondering if a printed metal gun could hold up for multiple shots, the answer is yes. I toured the Space-X factory and saw them printing rocket nozzles.
On the other hand, if all you want is a single shot, or maybe two, you could print the gun with a cheap plastic printer. After a shot or two you could crush it and toss it into recycle.
Luckily, a federal judge has put a temporary stop to this.
Unfortunately, it may already be far too late, and the damage is done.
Maybe someone will shoot 45 with a plastic gun. We can hope.
As much as I despise that miserable sob, I would hate to see him martyred by his brain dead base.
A stop at this point is basically useless. The files are out.

Posted by KilltheskyfairyA few things that people (fellas) seem to not understand about the bear vs man thing: The scenario is, a woman is walking through the woods hiking alone.
