Even President Trump weighed in with a tweet Tuesday saying: “I am looking into 3-D Plastic Guns being sold to the public. Already spoke to NRA, doesn’t seem to make much sense!”

As far as I’ve seen/heard nobody is selling 3D Printed Guns OR The FREE CODE in the Downloadable Files.

... of course what I didn’t go on to say is all of us sloped beetle browed knuckle dragging Red State neanderthals will continue to use our lathes and mills and -— along with exploiting the Left’s inability to know which restroom to use by the strategic placement of binary signed port-a-potties to distract them before we send in the Redneck Pickup Truck cavalry into an unprotected flank of their “troops” -— we’ll do just fine.

ROFLMAO !!! That would be a great Tagline if it would fit.

Exactly he can say he is looking into 3d plastic guns being sold.

He doesn’t have to anything because they don’t exist.

The “Liberator” single shot pistol is designed by Defense Unlimited / Cody Wilson. He made the plans available for download a few years ago and was shutdown by Obama. He took the DOJ to court and won. This past Friday, he was able to put the defcad.com site back online. As of last evening, he was ordered by a black robed tyrant from Washington State to take it down again. His files are out there in the public domain and will never go away. Really, much adoo about nothing new on the gun front. The much bigger battle is on freedom of speech. At the core, the government is trying to ban the free flow of information in the public domain because they don’t like the content.

Most people speaking on this topic are morons, i.e. politicians. Even the author in this article references 3D printing in metal.

Should add, 3D metal printing is possible, but not practical at home.

3D guns is the new shiny rubber ball for the liberals to chase as they fire up the solar powered vegan outrage generator.

All this means is that our plastic straws are now safe.

Wouldn’t it be something if consumer 3D printing was in metal? That would be some real Star Trek stuff there.

Not that inexpensive CNC is bad. it just sometimes needs patience.

Imagine how unhinged the left would be if they know it has been legal to make guns from metal at home in America since Columbus landed? My son is a fabricator for a race team. He has fabricated carbon fiber and poured metal parts both by printing the negative for the mold using a 3D printer.

I stand corrected as far as upper/lower.

How about making a hundred of them? Or a thousand? It might be cheaper to make one that way rather than buying a printer, assuming you have the machine tools and knowhow. But 3d printers can be had for around 300 bucks used now, and anyone can print with one, as many as they want. It makes the whole idea of keeping criminals from getting guns via gun control even more impractical than ever.
