Alyssa Milano: A 3D printed gun is downloadable death
CNN ^ | July 31, 2018 | Alyssa Milano

Posted on 08/01/2018 4:24:29 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Imagine this: the convicted domestic abuser next door tries to buy a gun. He's turned down because he fails his background check. When he gets home, he opens up his browser, and in half an hour he's printing out his own undetectable, fully functional plastic gun, with no background check and no record of his purchase.

As of August 1, it will be a reality in America -- unless we are able to stop it.

Due to a settlement between the State Department and Defense Distributed -- a Texas based designer of 3D guns -- felons, domestic abusers, terrorists, those adjudicated too mentally ill to own guns and any other person unable to legally purchase firearms will be able to print one at home. Depending on the printer, they can be untraceable and plastic, or they can be metal. People will be able to make anything from novelty guns to AR-15s. And we will never know -- until it is too late.

It gets worse: this requires a legislative fix immediately, and the House of Representatives session adjourned for August recess on Thursday. In other words, there won't be a fix this month.

It is not hyperbole to say that this could mean the end of our ability to have meaningful gun violence prevention in America....

So I guess it was OK for her to star in a movie that featured Arnold cutting up people with fully automatic firearms, but she advocates very strict firearms for civilians.

“but she advocates very strict firearms for civilians.”

Oops, I meant to say she advocates very strict firearms laws for civilians.

An AR-15 firing a .223 round can have up to 55,000 psi in terms of barrel pressure. Show me a plastic that can take those kinds of pressures.

These people think you could just print out a functional gun.
Some of the parts can be printed, some will have to sourced and then assembled.

It is not illegal to make a gun.
With a machine shop and few tools, you can still make one the old fashioned way.

So how much does a 3d printer cost? You have to be knowledgeable in computers to operate a 3D printer don't you?

Hundreds of millions of deaths are the direct and indirect result of liberal and socialist and communist and progressive idiocy.

Another “few” hundred million were terminated by abortions. Somebody needs to inform Alyssa about how abortions kill more humans than all weapons combined.

So...

Let’s ban liberals and progressives and socialists and communists. But, group them all together, and all that needs to be done is to ban the democratic party.

This is more insanity from the left.

Virtually every thing cited as “fact” in the article is false.

Here is a good rebuttal:

Hey Alyssa Milano, you're right. Terrorists can print 3D guns, then run amok.

But Alyssa, there are things readily available that are even worse! For example, there is this store near where I live. They sell a dangerous, explosive liquid to just about anyone. No ID needed. No background check needed.

Put this liquid in bottle, then light it, and a terrorist could destroy an entire building! Alyssa, let's first focus on closing the stores that sell this dangerous liquid.
