Last week the world's first 3-D printed gun fired its first shot, at a private shooting range in Texas. The gun was entirely made from plastic except for a nail used as a firing pin.
The plastic firearm was created by Cody Wilson and his nonprofit Defense Distributed on a second-hand, $8,000 3-D printer. Wilson, a 25-year-old law school student, worked on the gun's creation for more than a year before the first shot was fired last week. He is a libertarian and "crypto-anarchist," and created the group with the intention of developing a firearm anyone could reproduce using 3-D printing technology.
I recognize that this tool might be used to harm people. That's what it is: It's a gun … But I don't think that's a reason to not put it out there. I think that liberty in the end is a better interest.
another gun enthusiast telling you he knows your chances or one of your family's of getting killed by the new plastic MD only increases with the already available ones.
The weapon, which took four hours to print, does include a six-ounce steel chunk which puts it into compliance with federal law banning weapons that don't set off a metal detector. But Wilson aims to make the blueprint for the gun publicly available, and there's no guarantee those who reproduce it will include the metal and comply with the Undetectable Firearms Act. New York Sen. Charles Schumer said for this reason printable weapons should be banned:Guns are made out of plastic, so they would not be detectable by a metal detector at any airport or sporting event. Only metal part of the gun is the little firing pin and that is too small to be detected by metal detectors, for instance, when you go through an airport … A terrorist, someone who's mentally ill, a spousal abuser, a felon can essentially open a gun factory in their garage.
if you sit back and wait for your leaders to adjust this drive for military style guns in the handsof 1`0 yearss olds killing who ever they aim at, then this will escalate and revert back to Dodge cityand gunslingers, the more you allow them the more outrageous they will become, gun fights on the floor of congress, think it can't happen?
with everyone strapped whatever they opose is in immediate danger, if they got it it's not there to compliment their wardrobe. or that they won't turn out metaless weapons in spite of the law and at a reduced cost so more can have them. recognize before someone you love dies.
