If somebody is going to make a zip gun they will more paper laws will not stop anything. Originally Posted by rexdutchman

No. It's not illegal to "make your own gun" if such a gun doesn't violate existing laws. It's illegal to market a homemade gun.
To ME, the issue here is since we require backround checks to buy guns no matter what (unless its someone selling it privately to someone else), HOW exactly is putting the plans to PRINT OUT your own gun, NOT doing a 'end run around' those laws?It's not "marketing" until you try to sell it to someone else.
AND how on gods green earth, does this qualify as 'free expression'>?

And that's the kicker.. What he's putting designs out for, are guns that are solely made of plastic.. (or from all the news reports, even those from Fox have shown/claimed).. Ergo they do violate existing law, in marketing a weapon that can bypass metal detectors.

the gun blue prints for 3d printers is a definitely 1st amendment issue. Even the Obama/Trump state department acknowledged it.
the libs are in a panic about this as this would break their gun control regime they favor.
I think the libs are overwrought. 3D printers are still very expensive.
at the moment, the court agreed to place an injunction on the blue print release.
looks like 3 amendments are at play, 1st, 2nd & 10th. Originally Posted by dilbert firestorm

There is different schedules of illegal weapons (like illegal drugs) and it's on one of those schedule.

You could also walk into an hardware store and buy a rifle, no questions asked.

There have been multiple instances of mass shootings where the govt failed in letting the perp obtain a gun. And what happened? The media lambasted the NRA! Nobody in the media wanted to hold the govt responsible. In fact, they all wanted to give the govt MORE POWER to withhold guns. Don't try to hold the govt accountable for not doing their job!
