As 'I understand it' the quality, reliability, re-usability, accuracy, range and other myriad problems relegate these objects to the approximate lethality of an accurately thrown brick(see Baltimore riots).

I have heard the same, and possibly the shooter is in more danger than the target. However 3D printing is in it's infancy and I suspect a very viable weapon will soon emerge.

If all you need is a "blueprint" and a 3D printer, how soon will it be that "anyone" can own a gun.

Nice approximate lethality of an accurately thrown brick
At the end of the video. a successful demo of 600 rounds fired.

And here's another 'silly picture' with a valid point or uncomfortable truth if you happen to be Bubba's environmental warrior former VP (whose personal residence consumes as much power as a small town)....another study in hypocrisy.........



And I agree 3D printing is just beginning but the current materials and printers that the average Joe can afford cannot handle the psi required to fire an effective round. And there have been 'ghost' manufacturers around for years. A modest 5 figure investment can purchase preowned tooling and milling equipment capable of turning out extremely high quality components for AR style rifles and Model 1911 handguns.

The fact is when the Government 'builds a better mousetrap' some enterprising individual will inevitably 'build a better mouse'.........that's known as "YANKEE INGENUITY".........

That could well spread around the world, in the time it takes to type this.

No doubt refined by other countries, cheap untraceable guns. Whats not to like (sarcasm)

The real fact is, that governments never build anything better, design by committee and restricted budgets never works. Plus they never directly employ the best designers, the best are always spotted and given prime jobs by private enterprise long before governments get involved.

‘The gun’s not in the closet’

Since 1999, children have committed at least 145 school shootings. Among the 105 cases in which the weapon’s source was identified, 80 percent were taken from the child’s home or those of relatives or friends.

Yet The Washington Post found that just four adults have been convicted for failing to lock up the guns used.

Now, after a deadly school shooting in Kentucky, a prosecutor must decide: Should the parent who owned the weapon be charged?

YES. Once enough has been prosecuted, maybe the message will begin to sink in. Hitting Yanks where it really hurts is what annoys them the most - the wallet!

Those who allow unfettered or easy access to firearms by ANYONE (child, adult, or Rhesus Monkey) not qualified for that access SHOULD BE PROSECUTED TO THE FULLEST EXTENT OF THE LAW, when that access results in injury or death. All Firearms in my care are either under lock in two safes, with the ammunition, when not in magazine, locked in a third safe, or in my physical possession.

Is my position on this perfectly clear?

It also happens to be the Official Position of the NRA. Further the NRA has complained for years that the laws already in effect were not being enforced and sentencing was laughable. And in the case of 'Fast and Furious' was even aided and abetted by the Federal Government.

Turning on, turning off, and I need to check back later for that thing happening.

But perhaps not any sarcasm off here either, when it comes to president Trump and that of gun control,
(or maybe only Gun Laws here), if it should make any difference.

Perhaps no lobby for such either, when it comes to the regular military, but I find the NRA a quite good example here,
for such a thing, namely that at least a rifle could be used for that of a hunt, except for perhaps not a knife cutting a throat.

We perhaps did see it here, and next for perhaps a good meaning as well, but rather that the outcome became only 50/50,
or even perhaps 60/40 at best, and here not speaking about any chance either.

If rather having a barrier put up at each end of the street, and next waiting an hour, or two, chances are perhaps that the victim could
still be lying dead in the street, but next that the assailant could be shot, when leaving the area, except for still any slim chance of escaping.

Same goes with the other story, except for not knowing at first that it became a woman being a victim here, so here apologies for that.

That was clear a mud!.. :/

Strictest firearms regulation in the US.

All guns are either illegally possessed or owned by law enforcement.

Currently in violation of SCOTUS ruling regarding private ownership of firearms for protection, as is the District of Columbia.

Clearly banning possession of an object does not work. It didn't work with Alcohol, it doesn't work for opioids, it obviously doesn't work in Chicago with respect to firearms.

Those are facts. Ignore or deny the truth at your own peril.

It didn't work with Alcohol

However having to buy a tax stamp has worked quite well for booze and it should for guns as well.

Perhaps $1 for every word.

It would solve our Budget Deficit.

Good idea, but would your pension cover your bill? :-)
