sitehostplus bill001g said: Politicians seem to be the people with the lowest IQ on the planet. They try to make laws with no understanding. In the best cases they hire experts to advise them. 3d printed guns are mostly a myth. If you could really make guns out of 100% plastic this would have started well before 3d printers. The major gun manufactures would have factories producing them using injection molding for far less than 3d printing. Sure you can fire 1 or 2 bullets from a plastic gun if you are lucky. It might also kill the person who is shooting it. Your local hardware store sell lots of things that you can put bullets into and fire 1 or 2 times. The only things I have seen you can print with 3d printers that is a actual risk are the devices that allow you to make them fully automatic. It is same people who cower under their bed when they see a photo of a gun that let the people misusing guns out of jail over and over. A guy robs a store with a gun gets probation. A while later he get caught carrying a gun which since he is a felon convicted of a gun crime should put him in jail for 5yrs minimum and he is lucky if he gets any jail time, likely more probation. What they are worried about is stuff like this youtube video. gR8KYgABLao View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR8KYgABLao That's not a myth. People have already done that to manufacture weapons that kill people in places like California. Will this stop it? As long as we have an internet, and the ability to flash mod 3d printers? LOL.

Chokkymalk Ahhhh yes, legislate everything BUT the problem/solution, very smart! When will CNC machines be outlawed? Asking for a gunsmith friend. Oh wait. I forgot. The police murdered him then investigated themselves and cleared themselves of all wrong doing. That licenced senior citizen was a real heckin danger to them out of town cops! Reply
dgendreau How can this possibly work? I am by no means a gun nut, but this sounds about as logical as passing a law that the childrens programming language LOGO must have AI bolted onto it to prevent it from ever drawing anything penis shaped. Like how would this ever work in practice? And dont just hand-wave AI at it. Even if you had a list of banned 3D models, cant the gcode for those just be run through an obfuscator? Arent there open source DIY 3d printers and firmwares readily available to everyone? Reply
Arkitekt78 Yikes… cant see how this could possibly go wrong. Won't last a day in court. Reply
