Interesting article for those of you with a bit of mechanical tinkering experience here. Although it deals entirely with one particular model longarm, the possibility that it could be expanded to other weapons seems to be causing quite a panic for the control loons in government.

Look for it to be quickly outlawed in DC, NY, CAN, AUS and NZ. Followed by San Francisco and Berkely if I were a betting man.

When 3D printers are outlawed only outlaws will have 3D printers.

It isn’t talked about yet but you could use a 3d plastics printer to make a real firearm if you printed the void of the barrel and then electroplated it with nickle (which would take some time, but it is an easy do it yourself in the basement project, until you had a thick enough metal part. then machine the ends and melt the plastic out. viola!

Gun running is so much funner.

I can see any number of pistol & rifle clubs buying one and renting time on it for members at $50/hr. Or possibly having everyone chip in $3 for the purchase. Then everyone could have their own AR-15 for fairly short money.

Our society is just going to have to come to terms with the fact that anybody who desires a gun is going to have one. Regardless of how many "laws" we pass or how many products we ban.

With common household goods, one can make a deadly poison to slip into somebody's drink or food. With a few hand tools, you can create a deadly weapon with the deadwood in your backyard.

The list doesn't come close to ending there. You are not going to be able to achieve "safety" through legislation. What we can do as a society is lock up the criminals and throw away the key. Get to them early before they start committing more serious crimes.
