helper800 These proposed laws are completely redundant. The state governments will have to overcome at least the first amendment in regards to these 3D printer laws. It is already illegal to manufacture firearms with intent to sell without serialization and having an FFL. It is already illegal to manufacture parts to convert or outright making fully automatic firearms with or without intent to sell. Reply
rluker5 How many shots can you get with a plastic receiver before the buffer tube comes loose? But I suppose with the extra money people were paying to get one pre-assembled on top of whatever motivation they had to get an obviously unregistered firearm in the first place are also indications of not thinking things through. Any law enforcement that sees someone with a plastic receiver on their AR is not going to have to think too hard to know something is not right. Reply

Any law enforcement that sees someone with a plastic receiver on their AR is not going to have to think too hard to know something is not right. If we are talking an AR-15, the buffer tube only houses a captured spring that propels the BCG back into battery once a round is fired and cycled. The tube itself can be made of aluminum, the BCG out of the usual tool steel, and same with the spring. Its really only the lower, and potentially the upper on an AR-15 when 3d printed that is usually plastic of some composition. The buffer tube is very unlikely to 'come loose' if it was a metal tube screwed into a plastic upper receiver. Reply
Edwdlny So, once again we see the foolishness of restrictive laws aimed at the law abiding people. Some criminals used technology to commit several crimes, again. The resolution, again, is to punish and penalize those people who aren't criminals and do not commit crimes. Instead of targeting and punishing the problem, i.e criminals. So, now 3d printers or supplies or both will be modified to comply with some asinine law. No doubt at increased expense or requirement to purchase and own the device. While the criminal element will, again, ignore the law and find some way around those laws and requirements. Another "experts" are idiots scenario. How about establish punishments and penalties for criminal actions and behaviors and, importantly, target those people ? This is not difficult, even for politicians. Challenging, but not difficult.
