Sen. Chuck Schumer is warning the public to watch out for 3-D printed guns — that people will be able to legally download starting on August 1.
Gun rights activists reached a settlement with the US State Department and Department of Justice last week that allows them to post detailed instructions, including plans, files and 3-D drawings of the weapons. “This online site shows you, how at your home, with a simple 3D printer, you can make a plastic AR-15, an AR-10, a very dangerous semi-automatic assault-style weapons out of plastic in your own basement,” Schumer said at a Sunday press conference. The June 29 settlement stems from 2013 when the US government shut down Texas-based Defense Distributed when the website began sharing printable 3-D gun plans online — saying they were violating laws that regulate the export of guns since anyone, anywhere could download their plans. The site’s owner, Cody Wilson, sued and the US government reached a settlement with him allowing Defense Distributed to post the plans and agreeing to pay almost $40,000 of his legal fees. Schumer warned that the results could be disastrous — and could potentially arm people who cannot legally purchase a gun under existing laws. “The danger that could happen can be enormous,” he said. “To have crazy people have easy access, to have terrorists have easy access to this kind of website and allow them to make plastic AR 15s undetected — so-called ghost guns — justifies the imagination.” The 3-D printed guns are inferior to firearms manufacturers traditionally make but still work. Printers run anywhere from $200 to hundreds of thousands. Schumer demanded the federal government reverse its decision. He’ll be making a bill with a solution to the ghost gun blueprints by the end of the week, his spokesperson said. View Quote |

Sunday Schumer Strikes Again.
He's a Ghost Politician -- Invisible for six days a week. Can we ban those? |

Unfortunately, this is how you get serialized and regulated barrels with a needed background check. You know that will be the solution politicians will dream up.

Dear Chuck, the genie is out of the bottle. There's no putting him back. Now fuck off.

Don't worry Chucky. Microsoft will push an update and then magically the files will disappear just like happened before.
|
|
3d printed ghost assault revolvers with high capacity mags are the choice of gangs and people that chew with their mouth open.
Ban them for the children. |
|
The only logical solution is to require going to a FFL to buy a 3d printer.
I'd actually like to see that just to piss off all the reddit neckbeards. |
|
They can make all the rules they want, the info is out there, it can be hosted from Europe, South America, or fucking china/hong kong, and they'll be happy to tell the state department to fuck off.
This will end up being another push to control the internet I fear.... control information, and access to it. |
|
Yes Chuck, the genie is indeed out of the bottle, and you're fucked.
A.W.D. |

![]() Dangerous GUNS will MAGICALLY INDUCE LAW ABIDING CITIZENS to commit HEINOUS CRIMES! <---Runs to go hide under bed and piss self. We need Chuck Schumer to SAVE US!!! |

If they would just give EVERYONE a free FFL the problem would be solved - just give them out for free.
Chuck doesn't like to solve problems, he just likes to complain and get in front of cameras - an attention whore. |

I don't keep up with the 3d printing world at all, but I would have thought that since 2013 there would have been thousands of these files floating all over the world. All sorts of stuff is "illegal" on the internet somewhere, but t does not seem to stop those activities.

They will be making those "G-7's" that are invisible to metal detectors. Criminals will be making them like batches of cookies for all the gangs & terrorists...

Firearms are not that hard to manufacture.
Criminals do not manufacture firearms. 3d printers are not going to change that. |
|
|
Someone should 3D print Chucky a bag of dicks while they are at it.
|
|
Freedom sure scares the shit out of some people.
People like Shumer seem to make a living off of peddling the scariness. |
|
|
so where would I download said 'ghost guns' from? asking for a friend.....
