Publishing the plans for a working firearm isn't any different than publishing the plans for a working bomb. Yet the Anarchist Cookbook (or better yet: Expedient Homemade Firearms by P.A. Luty) is freely available on Amazon and many libraries without so much as a funny look, let alone a background check. The courts have long held that instructive speech and computer code are all protected forms of free expression. It's what you choose to do with that knowledge that determines whether or not you're a good person.
This is no pseudo-law fantasy. This is consistent with the established interpretation of the existing protections of the individual's rights to speech and arms. That doesn't mean that we can't have some narrow and reasonable restrictions, but after a certain point, we will always be relying on the goodwill of the individual, because doing otherwise is generally an instance of the cure being worse than the disease.
Warning, under your proposed legislative regime, clicking on the following two links would be a crime.
I can buy one legally and of better quality and I have done so several times. I like the challenge of building things myself. Right now I'm a law abiding citizen talking to a child terrified of a made up boogeyman and projects their own fears onto others.
The plastic guns DO shoot, so where are you getting that claim? Can you not even Google the videos? They're at least durable enough to do what thugs would need to to with them, like robbing a store of carrying out a hit.
The other problem is the legality of metal milled receivers for AR-15s (mass shooters' favorite weapon) which can be assembled into a working gun with other parts. The receiver is the hardest thing to make for a DIYS scumbag, so it's a big deal. This Wilson is just a punk obsessed with one-upping the government. He has no moral agenda at all.
So, you can't buy one legally, of much better quality? Are you one of these "law abiding citizens" who's just a hair away from shooting up some public place? You people are evil, and evil rarely knows itself.
A working firearm is not just "publishing information" you disingenuous fool! It would probably take your own kin getting snuffed in the next mass shooting to snap you out of that pseudo-law fantasy.
You're just mindlessly repeating rhetoric (like Alex Jones on Sandy Hook). Which "law abiding citizens" need to buy untraceable, flimsy plastic guns or sub-par aluminum receivers? Do you even know what you're saying?
Get a soul and at least pretend to care about mass shootings and all the daily gun crimes that don't make headlines. Worshiping guns for their own sake is a mental illness, often practiced by cowards with nothing else going for them except to BIRG over gear.
Good article except for the specious section about blacks getting killed by police (usually while stupidly or violently resisting arrest). If you're concerned about black gun deaths, hang out in Chicago, Baltimore or any major city where they routinely kill each other in low-I.Q. retaliation binges.
Take every gun in America away from their lawful owners, and you'll still have a crime problem. Take the criminals off the street, and I will lay down money that you won't have a gun problem.... Typical liberal view from the rear end is to disarm law abiding citizens.
https://www.stratasysdirect... Eat some s#I7 morons, it's nothing new, and not against the law. From 2013.... Read the news and not talking points. Also, try reading the constitution sometime.
In the US, it's always been perfectly legal to manufacture your own firearms, as long as you can legally possess whatever you end up with. This is a case about outlawing the sharing of ideas in a community of enthusiasts who are engaging in perfectly legal behavior. Of course this is about free speech.
Publishing information is never tantamount to "setting the theater on fire and locking all the doors." It might be akin to teaching someone how to build a good fire, and also the inherent weaknesses of many tumbler locks, but information is never murder.
Also, some pipe and a nail from the hardware store will build you a shotgun that packs a lot more punch than Cody's mostly-printed 22. 3d printing just adds another tool to the toolbox.
"However, he's more reliable for food and drink recommendations in Portland, where he spends a lot of time for theatre work."
You're out of your element, Donnie. I got a 3D printer last week and am midway through printing out my own firearm. If you're worried about assholes, put violent assholes who hurt people behind bars and keep them there. Don't have a public meltdown over hobbyists who aren't interested in hurting anyone. Commence screaming into your pillow.
I believe the guy who put up the files also sells the steel and a mini tool and die thingie for cheap. You just print out your gun, mill the metal pieces, assemble and away you go!
Generating a deadly weapon from the comfort of your own home...we'd ask 'what could possibly go wrong', but obviously these folks don't get ID on their cable.

Oops. I misread it. Maybe it would work with ABS then.
There is that......

I've been shooting Russian 7.62X39 for 30 years. This isn't a new thing.
