The latest from the lunatic fringe.....

Unregistered, un traceable ,un known ,automatic assault riffles are now a thing.....

How many LEOs, guards and innocent victims will we lose b/c of them.

The sovereign citizen movement (aka domestic terrorism) along with criminals, hate groups, and those suffering from paranoid schizophrenia are happy with this. The NRA and groups like it have been very quiet on their stance. On one hand it allows more freedom for gun owners; unfortunately if this blows up (which is likely in the next few years), the fallout will be huge. So they have to decided which side of this fence they are on. Both sides of the fence are bad for different reasons.

These are real guns, that can be made full auto that shoot real bullets.

Every single part accept the receiver can legally be bought.

The receiver blanks, that are 80% finished and therefore don`t require a serial number,are legal to buy. And so are the milling machines.

What can go wrong?

I think I brought this concept up in a previous thread a few months ago. I presented two ways 3D printing is used: a benefit to humanity and its destruction. Every technology has its benefits for humanity, and can be used for its destruction. Nuclear Power is a great example. It helps humanity as being a source of power, used in medical treatments, and understanding the cosmos. The negative use can be found under the heading of 'Nuclear Armageddon'.

One gentleman in Africa is using 3D printing to create prosthetic limbs that are cheap to make. This is to help people that have lost limbs due to untraceable land mine explosions from previous wars/conflicts. Then of course, we have the destruction, which is to create untraceable firearms. Doesn't take log to understand the fallout from this will create an abundant amount of laws to try (unsuccessfully) to curb this development in technology. If gun owners have any sense, they would do their utmost to prevent this stuff from becoming 'the norm' like the gun nuts are begging.

Only takes one awful event of sheer destruction using one or more such firearms to bring the nation down upon the idea. But like Sandy Hook, nothing will really happen. Since butchering 20 small children and six adults was not enough to mobilize the nation into action. That just means the event that does so will be awful on every level.

If you thought the liberals and conservatives are in 'active mode' on the recent US Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage; wait until that event takes place.....

The AR-15 is a big bugaboo for the gun-o-phobes. Especially since the 5.56 is more of a varmint round than a hunting round. It isn't recommended for deer hunting as it tends to wound instead of kill but fine for smaller pests like coyotes, wild dogs, and armadillos.

Last I checked the AR-15 does a pretty damn good job killing little children and adult school teachers....

When was the last time we feared the hostile takeover of the evil Deer Nation? Where deer rise up in a surprise attacks across the nation and take over? Yeah, maybe if your on LSD.....

The AR-15 like the M-16 was designed to wound and kill....HUMANS. Anything else is just bullshit being piled on by right wing fanatics.
