You make the printers illegal. Might as well add thoughtcrime.
3-D printer ping

Simple, you focus on the ammunition, doesn’t matter how many guns you can print if you can’t load them!And it seems like they are already working on this.
This type of technology will be amazing in the medical field. Imagine having your artifical heart valve having a tollerance down to the micron.
However, it doesn't matter, as the ban on so-called assault weapons and high capacity magazines in not serious, it is symbolic, so it is expected that the “bans” will not be effective.
This is the equivalent of a Soviet show trial. This is about image and not about substance.
ABS is tough but is it tough enough? probably not. The real goal needs to be to move to home printers that can print with stronger polymers, polymers comparable to Glock plastic or even home metal printers.
It's also worth noting that the only reason undetectable firearms don't exist is because firearm manufacturers are prohibited from manufacturing undetectable plastic weapons. The home "printer" is less prohibited. An undetectable ABS .22 LR pistol would be incredibly feasible and that is a game changer.
“What about the rest of us? Cody sees us as potential allies. “Traditional conservatives love it. I’m getting incredibly enthusiastic e-mails from Red-Staters,” he says. “And I can even get some Occupy people on our side.””
LOl, this dude is all right.
You don’t have to ‘print’ a gun. Any descent metal worker can manufacture an automatic rifle in the matter of a few hours. A simple metal working shop and a schematic is all that is needed.
Time to develop 3D printed firearms that can also use 3D printed ammunition, of which probes the area of caseless ammunition.
Print your own ammo? Quite possible and opens up the imagination of new designs.
In Brisbane Australia there is a company that makes Metalstorn firearms, I have a resume ready for them, the next level of high rate of fire weapons.
This cutting edge technology has scared the wits out of every statist in the world. That is why Fineswine and her fellow travelers are rushing their vain attempt to put gun control on the fast track.
The government will not be able to keep up with the next generation of armaments. Everyone better be armed in order to survive.
When guns are declared illegal only criminals will have printers!
The feds will have to pry my printer from my cold, dead hands!
I saw some of this on TV. What they did was create a false crisis wherein the Space Shuttle was having machine trouble while in space. The only way to fix the problem was with a special wrench they didn’t have. The Shuttle was in contact with NASA which had one of these 3D faxes. The Shuttle had a 3D polymer printer. NASA had the machine read the dimensions of the wrench, fax the 3D image to the shuttle which then printed it. The new wrench was fabricated out of powdered paper with space-age polymers. It was usable for the purpose intended- not as good as a metal wrench but perfectly useful in the short run.
