3D Printed Guns

[WanderingFool]

In my opinion printable guns are a bad idea, it makes tracing guns just that much harder.  While I conceed the accessability of guns in certain countries makes getting guns easy, the ease doesn't make it right.  As the CAD's are already out there though, I would say it is just wishful thinking though.

 

 

All you gotta do is reinforce the law and make ALL the people wear hand guns, so not only the BAD GUYS have gun but also the GOOD GUYS can defend them selves, cause, to be realistic, bad guys can buy a REAL GUN fairly easy and the GOOD guys that don't buy guns get SHOT.

Solution: make it realy easy for GOOD GUYS to be able to defend them selves. The US does this good in the LAW but a lot of US citicens are PUSSYS that are AFRAID of guns. DUDE, american, if you ARE a GOD GUY you'll defend your family and if you ARE a BAD GUY the moment you wield the gun in public, you'll get SHOT by a 100 places before you are even able to SHOOT. What's happening now? BAD GUYS play COD IRL and RANDOM PEOPLE can't defend them selves. This is why GOOD POEPLE die, like all the time in US shootings. Have a nice day.

 

I am sorry, but I must adamantly disagree with your statement.  What happens when during a B&E you shoot the person, but it turns out instead of a B&E it was a family member sneaking in (it does happen).  What about the case where you fire at the "bad guy" and miss hitting someone else, oops there is now a dead "good guy".  Last example, what happens when you fire at the "bad guy" only to find out he had a legitamate purpose, and thus was a good guy.  The fact is people who do not own guns don't always do so because they are afraid.  There are many reasons and examples why one would not want a gun in their house (look at what happens when kids shoot other kids because they didn't know any better).  The more guns there are leads to more accidental shootings, whether it is a good or bad guy who owns them.  (If you believe in safety then perhaps going to a Canadian style of gun control would be beneficial, albeit it would take decades to reduce crime, with the flow of guns currently.  The fact is Canada with strict gun control has the lower of the violent crime rate)

Both of your argumantes are easily solved:

1) I think its even ilegal in the States to shoot at some1 if he isn't threatening your own life or others. So if a family member sneaks in, you take your gun, aim at him (like the police does) and controls the situation. If you "aim at the bad guy" you should hit the guy cause in normal cases you aren't sniping with a hand gun, you should hit a guy at 5 meters at least. If people have a "legitamate purpose" they wont put a gun to your face nor threaten you so you shouldn't shoot the shit out of them. Remember guns don't kill, people do. People might as well kill'ya with a hammer.

Plastic guns are tricky but I'm sure air security, train security and school security's metal detector can be modified to detect this things.

Yeah... @Linus I recognize I was wrong, I got carried away :( I need to control my emotions better, I'll try to not do this again and I apologize to all those I've offended.

We've been able to essentially print guns with a CNC for many years now. Why is this needed, apart from trying to assassinate someone past a metal detector or hijack a plane, if they ever come out with one that can fire multiple rounds?

Because it's a lot nicer than reality?

This guy who prints guns has such a low ambition... I'd sell the patterns and the rights to the guys who paid me the most =3 Contrary he is now giving the plans for free... thus earning no money at all :( I don't like anarchists they are like Real Life Trolls messing up the world on purpose.

Wow this is amazing. I just noticed. I'm watching the documentary right now. Plus, he could make a lot of money off of this O_o
