Man claims he was paid $21,000 for 3D-printed guns at New York AG's buyback event in Utica
A man who identified himself to us only as Kem saw people tweeting about using 3D printers to make guns for the sole purpose of selling them for big buckswww.wktv.com
Seriously. This. There's a reason that the cheap parts are 1/10th of the actual parts that had R&D go into them.and I've almost always found that knock-off parts are suspect from the start.
I hope they recycled them into new filament so someone could make more ghost guns to turn in.Same thing happened here
city had a gun buy back day, and some dude showed up with a box of 3d printed "ghost guns" and they gave him like 10 grand in gift cards for them
lol after that happened and got in the news they put out a press release saying they wont accept them next timeI hope they recycled them into new filament so someone could make more ghost guns to turn in.
It's gunception.
I wonder how long that'll last once someone uses one to do something untoward.lol after that happened and got in the news they put out a press release saying they wont accept them next time
You know some asshole was out there getting ready to print like 1000 of them for the next one
I appreciate entrepreneurship. You cant actually filament print a gun though. I mean, you could go buy a bunch of cap guns and spray paint them black and see if they'd take them at that point. Call it upcycling.I wonder how long that'll last once someone uses one to do something untoward.
I mean, not the whole thing, but you can print a pretty large subset of the whole thing.I appreciate entrepreneurship. You cant actually filament print a gun though. I mean, you could go buy a bunch of cap guns and spray paint them black and see if they'd take them at that point. Call it upcycling.
How much of a gun is the gun part of a gun. The age old question.I mean, not the whole thing, but you can print a pretty large subset of the whole thing.
If you're gonna get nitpicky about it, the "Liberator" is a 38, printed from ABS with the exception of the firing pin, which is a nail.How much of a gun is the gun part of a gun. The age old question.
If you ask the ATF apparently owning a bunch of random parts qualifies as a "constructive firearm."
Even the barrel?If you're gonna get nitpicky about it, the "Liberator" is a 38, printed from ABS with the exception of the firing pin, which is a nail.
So, I'd go so far as to say, it's pretty much the whole enchilada.
"a bunch of random parts" isn't even the limit. If you build one part that converts an AR into a full auto then that one part is a rifle and requires a license to own.How much of a gun is the gun part of a gun. The age old question.

Well, it varies anywhere from AR lowers (seen 'em in ABS) to single shot 38s (yes, even the barrel).Even the barrel?
I was thinking effective weapons, not single shot 38s
Cause like at that point, you can use a pipe like that dude in japan.
Im aware, unfortunately all that stuff was lost in a boating accident"a bunch of random parts" isn't even the limit. If you build one part that converts an AR into a full auto then that one part is a rifle and requires a license to own.
Yeah I've seen the AR lowers, they dont hold up well and I know that's the "firearm" in law, but the only thing inside it is the trigger and mag well. You aren't going to produce a high quality firearm is all I'm saying. You could buy a CNC mill and make em all day I dont know the fear of 3D printers.Well, it varies anywhere from AR lowers (seen 'em in ABS) to single shot 38s (yes, even the barrel).
People make AK-47s out of shovels. Getting all ammosexual about it as if I give a shit what you do or how wrong you think I am is really beside the point. I don't care, I just think it's funny.Yeah I've seen the AR lowers, they dont hold up well and I know that's the "firearm" in law, but the only thing inside it is the trigger and mag well.

Philosophically this is almost a fear of knowledge.
Like my landlady locked herself out once and I picked the lock with two wires I had in my trunk and she was like you shouldnt be allowed to know how to do that... I was just like ok but... I got you in.
This idiotic notion that having potentially dangerous knowledge endangers anyone is so laughable.
I love talking about gun stuff. I feel like I get judged alot because I'm always at 11 :/ and I cant break it and... whateverPeople make AK-47s out of shovels.
