Morphine Prince 109,957 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 It’s been five years since Cody Wilson fired the first 3D-printed gun. This week, the self-described anarchist plans to release its blueprint to the world on the internet, allowing anyone with access to a 3D printer to create their own “ghost guns”—firearms that are untraceable, unregulated, and unregistered. Last week, three organizations—the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, Everytown for Gun Safety, and Giffords Law Center to Prevent Gun Violence—joined together in a last-minute effort to block the Trump administration from allowing Americans the ability to access the instructions. The coalition sent a letter to a federal judge in Texas on July 24, but their bid was dismissed on Friday. And so, on August 1, following several years of litigation, Wilson will be able to legally publish the schematic designs of his 3D single-shot pistol on the fire-sharing site DEFCAD, which is run by his non-profit, Defense Distributed. He also plans to release instructions for a variety of other firearms, including AR-10 and AR-15 style rifles, which have been used in several mass shootings. In big, bold letters, the company’s homepage now boasts, “The age of the downloadable gun formally begins,” a notion that has alarmed both lawmakers and gun reform activists on what this could mean for gun regulation in the United States.

REALITY 80,247 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 This is both the dumbest and saddest thing I've ever heard. All these terrible and awful shootings will never be enough. Unfortunately, it doesn't matter how many men, women, and children are killed, crazy people like Wilson and our crazy ass government will never do anything about it...It's sad that a couple of words on a page written hundreds of years ago is more important than an individual's life...

arrtpop 2,752 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 from what i’ve read, these guns can’t do much damage. wilson’s pistol only fired one or two rounds before breaking. one test had the gun “disintegrate” after one shot. they are not very durable either. someone said “if i was a gang member, i wouldn’t spend thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars to make a gun that doesnt work, i would just steal a real one.” thankfully these guns don’t do much damage. that being said, it is a absolutely disgusting that something like this would ever even be CONSIDERED to be legal. i mean wtf?? how does anyone think this is good? what if the technology advances and actually begins working as a real gun would? aphrodite Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
CyanLights 15,576 Posted July 30, 2018 Share Posted July 30, 2018 So gun laws have been modified, and when they are it’s to make them more Lin lenient? This feels like they are just try to prove a point more than anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
