[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Chuck Schumer warns of 3-D printed ‘ghost guns’ (Page 1 of 3)

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.

Weird thing is, I got the plans when they were first available and still haven't made any.

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.

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.

You know the easiest way to ensure information is available on the Internet? Try to ban it. Those original CAD files were spread wide and far when that shit first went down. Hell, I personally have a zip file with all the stuff from Defense Distributed, plus other fun CAD files like AR/M16 lowers, LL, DIAS, etc. I would never advocate breaking the law, but I will be damned if I will allow them to prevent me from having such information.

If you read the definition of a firearm the upper of the AR and most semi autos should be the firearm. Not the lower.
