Make a gun using your printer.

The funny part is that someone can have hundreds of homemade guns of every description and as long as they are not planning on murdering people or using them in an improper manner there is little to fear. Homemade gun don't kill people, murderers kill people and murder is already illegal.

That is SUCH a good point, it is a shame you are singing to the choir here.
It's some thing that needs to be shouted from the rooftops and tattooed on every politicians hand.

Tom posted the info that proves it is true.  However, the anti's will miss the fact that it is all plastic and will not handle even one shot of a cartridge.

So..  Yer sayin' you could print out yer own Glock, then.  Hmmmm...  (lol)

Actually there are some pretty cool materials you can "print".  We had a vendor come through earlier this year with some samples and demonstrated how you can "print" right out of SolidWorks.  Gun companies are using 3D printing for prototypes now, in fact I saw one at S&W that they used for the Shield.

Even if it's hard enough for internal parts like strikers and hammers you still would need metal springs, and a steel or maybe ceramic barrel liner.

All you need to make is a reciever. You can buy everything else with no restrictions.

 That seems to be what the guy at AR 15 . com did just to prove the basic idea.

I think it is exciting to watch the technology mature.
Look at computers them selves, when I was a kid they had Eniac, it filled a barn and had about the same power as a digital watch.
Now the majority of people have an internet capable device that lets them communicate with nearly any spot on earth, and they carry it in their shirt pocket !

I've got an axe

Not much you can't do with a good sharp axe!

Heck, I pretty much built a house with a tape measure, a good rafter square and a Skilsaw!  Nothing for Better Homes and Gardens but it ain't fallen down yet...

I still even have the maple miter box I did all the trim with!  Saws a bit rusty but it still cuts well enough!

If you guys saw the crap you have to do to build a house in ca it would make you sick.
