What's the point of 3D printed guns?

Date: May 6th, 2013 8:59 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman Why not just buy one in the store? As a bonus, the barrel will be made out of metal. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147157) |

Date: May 6th, 2013 8:59 PM Author: gay potus to prove a point. if anyone can print a gun at home, what's the point of banning them? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147167) |

Date: May 6th, 2013 9:01 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman Huh? You can always make it illegal to own a 3D printed gun, just like how you can make it illegal to own a glock. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147176) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:03 PM Author: gay potus the point is that even if you ban the sale of assault weapons or 30 round magazines or pass any of the other proposed laws, there's will soon be an easy way around them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147182) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:04 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman It's still just as illegal though. Isn't that the big complaint about gun laws - that if guns are illegal only criminals will own guns? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147196) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:14 PM Author: gay potus yes, criminals and anyone else who wants a gun will be able to get them. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147277) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:15 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman So how does this change anything? It's not like guns are particularly difficult to obtain in Chicago for example. They're just difficult to obtain LEGALLY. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147289) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:23 PM Author: gay potus obviously banning guns only makes them more difficult to obtain for law abiding citizens. criminals would find ways to get them even if they were banned. now with the advent of 3D printing, regular citizens who have no interest in killing other people but enjoy or are intrigued by guns can print one in the safety and privacy of their own home.

|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:24 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman So if you make guns illegal, these otherwise "law abiding" people will break the law and obtain guns? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147386) |

Date: May 6th, 2013 9:24 PM Author: gay potus so if you make alcohol illegal, these otherwise "law abiding" people will break the law and drink alcohol? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147393) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:27 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman I mean, that's the argument I keep hearing against gun laws - that if you ban guns, you make law abiding citizens vulnerable to criminals with guns. I didn't realize that gun laws ACTUALLY REDUCE THE AVAILABILITY OF GUNS. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147417) |

So is shooting up malls, schools, and movie theaters. |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:48 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman If your point is that gun laws don't actually reduce or prevent crimes, then 3D printers don't really change anything. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147636) |

|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:02 PM Author: Startled public bath half-breed Two factors:
1. It's cool as hell. You're printing a plastic gun that works with some designs you found on the internet
2. To prove a political point. The UTLaw bro doing this is a libertarian market anarchist type, but less Ron Paul and more Proudhon. |

Date: May 6th, 2013 9:03 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman What point does this prove? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147181) |

|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:09 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman Are you saying it's NBD if we make it illegal to own guns, since people can still print their own guns? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147236) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:10 PM Author: Sepia station The reasoning is that it's dumb to make laws that can't be enforced. Note that I'm only describing other people's perspective, not agreeing with it. |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:11 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman Couldn't you enforce the law by arresting anyone who's caught with a gun? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147250) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:11 PM Author: Sepia station How do you plan to catch them? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147256) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:13 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman You don't have to "plan" anything. As soon as someone uses the damn thing, he's given you all the evidence you need to lock his ass up. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147271) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:23 PM Author: Sepia station The gun rights crowd picture themselves only using guns in cases where they'd be dead otherwise, so prison as an alternative to death seems like a fair trade. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147382) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:25 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman So the line that "if you make guns illegal, only criminals will own guns" is a crock of shit? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147399) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:27 PM Author: Sepia station It's technically true (if owning a gun is a crime...), but an exaggeration in implications (the percentage of gun owners who plan to use guns for other crimes will increase, but not to 100). (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147426) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:30 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman What if you pass a law outlawing possession of guns that aren't stamped with a serial number? Would otherwise law abiding citizens have any use for 3D printed guns in this scenario? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147440) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:31 PM Author: Sepia station Not really, just like they have no unique use now. It's just a fun, new toy. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147452) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:08 PM Author: Startled public bath half-breed The idea is to make it virtually impossible to ban guns because the information to very easily create them will be available to everyone. Same for magazines and other gun parts which are more likely to be banned. They named a printed hicap AK mag "The Feinstein Mag".

Date: May 6th, 2013 9:09 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman If this technology makes gun laws irrelevant, then it should be no problem if we go ahead and make it illegal to own guns. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=2249095&forum_id=2#23147239) |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:11 PM Author: Startled public bath half-breed this is bizarre logic, I don't even know what you're going for here
He's providing a type of failsafe in case they begin to crack down on gun related liberties. A digital "fuck you". It's not all that complicated. |
|
Date: May 6th, 2013 9:12 PM Author: onyx crackhouse patrolman But I keep hearing about how criminals can obtain guns in spite of the law. That implies that even if you ban guns, people who want them can still can obtain them.
Isn't that WHY gun laws are supposedly ineffective? Because even in places like Chicago people can still easily obtain guns? |
