The Machine is a CNC Mill, not a printer.
“The Machine is a CNC Mill, not a printer.”
And marketed mostly to people who don’t know all you need to finish a 80% lower is a drill press.
Is it at least a printed CNC mill??
How much do the materials cost to print these?
You can make a 100% receiver ONCE legally, but you can never sell or transfer the gun.
A CNC machine is NOT a 3-D printer.
Obama will find an Administrative Law Judge to rewrite that soon.
according to reporters it is an assault printer and is also known as a glock.
Just call it an undocumented migrant printer and it will be mandatory in every house.
They left some pertinent parts out of the price discussion. Besides the machine, there are some things you have to buy. I suppose the first assembly would be the most expensive. After you have manufactured 10 or 12, you are probably able to cover the start up costs.
However, if you are making them for sale, you are committing a felony. (as I understand it).
While we can, it still makes sense to just go by an AR15 for yourself. If you are not able to own one where you live, then it’s a could bet it would be a felony to make one (but I am only guessing).
If it ever comes to an armed conflict in our country, I don’t think that would be an issue.
Armed conflict is illegal too...
The machine would go underground quickly. At least that’s what I expect would happen.
If you instructed someone on how to use the machine after constructing their own parts, and they pressed the ‘on’ button, THEY built their own gun, not you.
There are machine shops in California that do exactly that right now. Nobody has busted them and cops are their biggest customers.
Would that it were true.
What makes you think he’ll bother having a judge rewrite it?
Another thing to keep in mind is that a simple program download will allow a different gun to be made from this same machine. I would expect that there will be a lot of programs created specifically for this in the future. Eventually, they will not be copies of existing guns. They will be originals.
For a crude analogy, look at the history of homebuilt airplanes (See the EAA website).
“You can make a 100% receiver ONCE legally, but you can never sell or transfer the gun.”
Actually, the law says you can not make a firearm with the INTENTION of selling it unless you are a licensed manufacturer,bla,bla,bla.
Very similar to all those folks that pledge “till death do you part”, their “intention “ was forever, stuff happens.
“...according to reporters it is an assault printer and is also known as a glock....”
Or it could be an AK-47. Hard to tell when you conceal it under a burka.
I am not sure that you can even leave the firearm to someone in a will.
It is perfectly legal to allow friends, family, and customers access to your CNC machine for a fee. In many places you can find “build parties” where you get a kit for an AK-47 or ar15 type rifle that includes an 80% lower reciever plus tools and experts on hand to aid you in the final milling work and assembly. With this machine I imagine you could sell the 80% lower and the machine time. As long as the gun owners press the “start” button no laws have been broken.
